Yes, and the fight won't stop after this court battle.
A bill by US lawmakers, set for release in March, could require encrypted devices to be able to give un-encrypted data to law enforcement. Feinstein says the bill is "coming along ... some people are making it a lot harder than we think it needs to be". An alternate proposal is also on the table

- tristor 11y agoIs there anything Diane Feinstein has done in all her years of service that was actually good? I am struggling to find anything.
- jmspring 11y agoNo. She ran on "being a woman" that was her only credential that year. She's a self serving a-hole who has done absolutely nothing to help this state out. As mayor, she had a canceal/carry permit when she backed laws refusing them to many. At least Boxer has stated what she stands for and stood by that. Feinstein, I never understood why we keep voting for her.
- sandworm101 11y agoHonestly, part of me wants such a bill. As a big supporter of F/OSS, I think this could result in the creation of properly open phones running software beyond the control of US corporations. An open os running on standardized handsets could moot the entire debate. Users should be able to examine code and select from a variety of operating systems, even compile their own from source as PC consumers have done for years.
- studentrob 11y agoHah, I agree, though personally I wouldn't risk a big brother future over supporting this bill.
