No, I didn&#x27;t miss it. I&#x27;ll admit that the article isn&#x27;t directly calling for an end to encryption, but, at least the way I read it, there&#x27;s some subtext about it. It seems like they&#x27;re approaching encryption with the assumption that it&#x27;s bad but we can&#x27;t do anything about it, not that encryption is a good tool being used for evil.<p>&gt; A trickier issue is presented by the encryption deployed by Apple, Facebook, Google and a range of smaller services that thwart law enforcement’s ability to access a target’s communications, even with a court order.<p>Why do they describe it as &#x27;thrwarting&#x27; law enforcement? It&#x27;s not thrwarting anything, it&#x27;s just not providing them a back door.<p>Maybe I&#x27;m reading too much into it, but this article feels like it has something between the lines.
