You fall in one of two groups here:
1. The NSA probably has the ability, one way or another, to break E2E encryption. This is a symbolic move attempting to soothe the masses into thinking their communication is still secure.
2. This is vast government overreach trying to stifle personal privacy. Such a bill is idiotic not only because it runs counter to the US Constitution, but also because enforcing such a bill would be virtually impossible.
- giaour 7y agoEven if the NSA could break E2E encryption (a very big if), that doesn't automatically imply that local, county, and state level law enforcement agencies would be able to.
- AgloeDreams 7y agoI would love to see the Tim Cook VS Current Admin war that would happen though. After the FBI vs Apple war that happened with hard device encryption an iMessage encryption battle would be epic and I wonder just how far they would take it if they got hard-lined under the current conservative 'Silicon valley is trying to censor us' reparations. If Apple were somehow forced to drop e2e encryption I would honestly expect Tim Cook to step down and run for president. He has an incredibly hardcore political side.
