Im really in so many minds about this.
On the one hand, encryption shouldnt be necessary.
On the other, much like the RIAA crackdown on mp3s over http brought us torrents and magnets, I would expect the US and UK cracking down on encryption to bring us actually secure clients.
It also stinks of them trying to legalise something they are already doing (see Snowden and the recent declassified cia docs)
- nomendos 5y agoI am Computer Security expert and urge all from point of understanding this both technically and as a value to all of US citizens! Crooked forces are behind this trying to misrepresent this as ability to read all messages that will allow them to "save the children" which is just an excuse for the "foot through the door" or capability for the totalitarian rule (remember total power inevitably corrupts totally)! If we let our representatives, which do not understand this, vote for this, then we all will regret and have much much harder time to restore right for privacy. There are other both better and cheaper ways that government agencies can protect the children and destroying encryption (or criminalizing it) will not help them, since the real criminals will then use encryption only for their business and we law abiding citizens will be stripped off the ability to use it to preserve our privacy!!!
