Let me edit this in the way I read it
>Access to the [grocery store] is a privilege, not a right. There is nothing in the US Constitution regarding [grocery stores]. An individual is not required to use [grocery stores] to [obtain food], this is a matter of convenience, ergo privilege, but not a right.
People will always do bad things, and taking away the tools to do bad things isn't going to stop it. Without even touching privacy rights (where America has less rights than many other countries), there are many other ways the government can lawfully spy on you. Encryption technology is great; the genie is out of the bottle, and I doubt anything can really stop it.
- glitchc 7y agoThis is a strawman argument. I do not believe (and have not said) that Congress will outlaw encryption. As you said, the genie is out. However, they can, and eventually will, restrict technology companies from providing high-quality, turn-key, encryption solutions on consumer devices. This is what Barr is building up to. Individual users will be free to implement custom encryption on top of said platforms.
