&gt; So politicians and intelligence services calling for encryption want, institutionally, to keep people safe. How can tech companies do that without breaking or backdooring encryption? That&#x27;s the real problem to solve, and the first person to figure out how to do that will be way ahead.<p>I don&#x27;t think this is a technical problem, and I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s our responsibility to solve it.<p>If the US wants to stop terrorism they need to stop creating terrorists. The US created terrorists by starting economic wars, supporting violent dictators, creating economic that harm the common people and not the national leaders they purport to, providing conditional and earmarked aid that is sometimes actually harmful, and a wide variety of other internationally sociopathic behaviors. If we want to stop being attacked by people from other countries, we need to stop harming other countries.
