But they want to backdoor the encryption so that foreign governments can spy on those encrypted connections. Genius.
- thephyber 6y agoTo be fair, not all of the United States government wants to be on HTTPS (all that quickly) and not all of the government wants to backdoor encryption. I think it's important to point out that some of the US Government has a more tempered approach to the issue. The NSA tends to ignore the domestic quibbles about encryption because they tend to have much more flexibility in how they work around encryption hurdles. The DOJ and local police departments scream bloody murder about encryption everytime there is one phone they can't access and a few congress Critters use that call as a political wedge issue.
