At a time when cyberthreats from criminals, hackers, and nation states are on the rise, our nation's leaders should not be calling on companies to weaken the encryption that allows us all to communicate privately and securely. https://www.cnet.com/...

“Republican lawmakers introduced the Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act, which calls for an end to “warrant-proof” encryption (...) If passed, the act would require tech companies to help investigators access encrypted data.” https://www.cnet.com/...

Banning strong #encryption to prevent cybercrime is dumber than: 🚫burning books to stop spelling errors; 🚫 ending air travel to stop plane crashes; or 🚫 outlawing cars to stop getaway drivers. Those are all pretty dumb, outlawing encryption is worse. https://www.cnet.com/...
