Techdirt Podcast Episode 67: The Great Encryption Debate: Should There Be Back Doors?

from Techdirt on (#18NQ8)

Anyone who reads Techdirt knows our opinion on encryption: stronger is better, and giving the government (or anyone else) a back door is a dangerous idea. We've decried a lot of the stupid arguments that we've heard in favor of back doors - usually coming from technologically clueless politicians and law enforcement officers - but that doesn't mean we aren't open to considering some smart ones. This week, we've invited Albert Wenger (who you may recall from a discussion about basic income way back in Episode 16) to share his pro-backdoor position and engage in some friendly debate.
