>Attorney General William Barr said Tuesday that increased encryption of data on phones and computers and encrypted messaging apps are putting American security at risk.
>Barr's comments at a cybersecurity conference mark a continuing effort by the Justice Department to push tech companies to provide law enforcement with access to encrypted devices and applications during investigations.
>"There have been enough dogmatic pronouncements that lawful access simply cannot be done," Barr said. "It can be, and it must be."
>The attorney general said law enforcement is increasingly unable to access information on devices, and between devices, even with a warrant supporting probable cause of criminal activity.
>Barr said terrorists and cartels switch mid-communication to encrypted applications to plan deadly operations. He described a transnational drug cartel's use of WhatsApp group chat to specifically coordinate murders of Mexico-based police officials.

I kind of want them to try to require backdoors in all commercial software. Partly because I want a very public discussion about this at a time when trust in the government is at an all time low and partly because I would like to hear a conversation like this:

>Yeah mang I can hook you up. You go that Linux phone?
>I do but what you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.

>Accererationism
I dont actually think the masses will clamour for strong encryption. They have limited understanding and dont have much intrest in privacy

Side note. This is the same Barr who advised Bush Senior to pardon key people involved in the Iran-Contra affair. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Contra_affair#Pardons
