White House Raises Encryption Threat in Silicon Valley Summit
- DyslexicAtheist 11y agoIt could be that I'm missing something totally obvious here but ... Apart from the obvious reasons of why it's a bad idea to add backdoors or outlaw encryption the discussion somehow never addresses the obvious result of what were to happen if the US were to regulate / outlaw encryption: namely it would be devastating to any US tech companies who generate a large part of their income outside the US. Would you still trust gmail/amazon or even US based ERP that is backdoored if you're a Asian or EU based company? Why is this not discussed I wonder.
