Idiotic anti-encryption draft bill loses any meaningful support

in #politics8 years ago

Draft legislation that Senators Richard Burr and Dianne Feinstein, the Republican and Democratic leaders of the Intelligence Committee, had circulated weeks ago likely will not be introduced this year and, even if it were, would stand no chance of advancing, the sources said.

Key among the problems was the lack of White House support for legislation in spite of a high-profile court showdown between the Justice Department and Apple Inc over the suspect iPhone, according to Congressional and Obama Administration officials and outside observers.

Good. I think the "power elite" are losing control because millenials are in general more tech savvy than their older counterparts. Encryption is going to get get more and more difficult to villify imo.

Oh happy day!

How these two luddites head the Intelligence Committee is beyond me...
