> Earlier today Vance gave the keynote speech at the conference, hosted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, saying he was going “rouge” by speaking out on the matter. He made an emotional plea that police might not be able to stop crimes against children or solve murders without access to the data. They somehow solved these crimes before the advent of these devices. Also, I personally regard stopping the NSA from spying on Americans - all Americans - without cause to be stopping a bigger, and more important, crime than stopping the number of crimes that the encryption would stop them from solving. It's stopping a crime against millions of people that corrupt government officials have not only refused to properly investigate and prosecute, but have shielded for personal gain, knowing that they were circumventing the law of the land. Stopping rampant corruption is a good thing, and it's sad that it's fallen to public companies rather than government prosecutors.
