You seem to be assuming I don't agree with the comment. I do agree with it, I just don't see the value in presenting it to more or less the same audience over and over again.
I think we've all read this comment by now, maybe no need to continue posting it on every story having something to do with law enforcement, encryption, or phones.
And what happens when a 16 year old gets his 13 year old brother to record himself having sex with an 11 year old girl? Cuz that's where this will end up.
Hopefully we can come up with a law that makes it clear small children cannot legally consent to sexual activity without criminalizing sexting among teens.
It's not a matter of IF, only a matter of WHEN they pull your name out of the hat for "random sampling" to ensure that the people are playing by their rules.
Only on an infinite time scale. In the long run, we're all dead.

So, I'm at work in Gibraltar while my flatmate remains in Spain and my girlfriend is in the UK. They're all authorised to use the account by the definition you just described.
If that's a temporary arrangement perhaps. If your girlfriend lives in the UK and you live in Spain, that is not the same household.
Besides that, it's false advertising unless the police are incompetent or the company has an illegal conspiracy to have police insiders help them—the company would know that competent police would never allow them to communicate with seized devices.
I have not investigated at all so this is pure speculation, but it could be a dead man switch, which would not require any kind of communication.

I don't believe you. Once you send that content somewhere else, it isn't the same bits, even if you deleted it at the original source at the same time.
So you don't want them to lend out ebooks. That means they would have to give them away. They can't afford to purchase and then give away copies, so you're suggesting they should buy a copy of a book, and give away unlimited copies of it online? How long do you think they could last before they got sued out of existence doing that?
You really think the only evidence of you breaking into a prosecutor's office and wiping their computers (don't forget any backups) would be on your computer? I'm kind of hoping you try this so you find out close up and personal what a stupid idea it is. But I have a feeling this is more of an "internet tough guy" phenomenon than something that would ever happen in real life.
Governmental entities responsible for the funding of the various law enforcement agencies shall maintain and improve their respective financial support to the Commonwealth's law enforcement agencies…
Unfortunately that part doesn't appear to be unconstitutional, so a court would have nothing to say about it.
This is true, but "don't worry, this takes a lot of computing power" is at best only temporarily reassuring. We're not on the same Moore's Law curve as before, but I'm sure power vs cost will continue to rise.

Presumably that household would need to set things up so everyone has access to the 2FA to continue using the account.
