The fact that there is a backdoor is not a violation of the Constitution. If it's only used with legal warrants, then it's well within the Constitution.
- IgorPartola 12y agoYou are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct. On the other hand, the NSA has a secret court that, in secret, grants it warrants to wiretap anyone it wants. While that's a neat loophole, it should be closed. I don't think that dangling a carrot the size of a golden backdoor in front of the law enforcement and spy agencies will result in anything other than more rubberstamp courts and very questionable warrants.
- readymade 12y agoYou are technically correct about "technically correct", which is the best kind of "almost correct".
- pyre 12y agoI'm not in favour of the 'golden key' but saying that the existence of a golden key violates the Constitution by fact of existing is not true.
- IgorPartola 12y agoI should have been more clear, but what I am saying is that it's existance within the US will almost undoubtedly be used in violation of the Constitution.
