Obama Encryption Policy Rejects Laws Mandating Backdoors
Deceptive title, unintentionally.FTA: "Instead, the Post reports, the “administration will continue trying to persuade companies that have moved to encrypt their customers’ data to create a way for the government to still peer into people’s data when needed for criminal or terrorism investigations.”While eschewing attempts to legislatively mandate that tech companies build backdoors into their services, the president is continuing the status quo – that is, informally pressuring companies to give the government access to unencrypted data."Status quo is that the government doesn't respect the privacy of its citizens.
