Obama has relinquished his role in talking about "balance", when he's even now pushing for legalizing the illegal sharing of NSA's mass surveillance data with civil law enforcement. Where's the balance then? Oh, that's right. Obama is for no balance - just complete government control.
George Orwell was right about 1984 and Big Brother, he just got the year wrong and instead of TVs spying on you it is phones, tablets, computers, smart phones and other devices. Any encrypted device like an iPhone the government wants a backdoor into it.
Our privacy rights are going to be violated so they can catch more criminals and terrorists. The government wants encryption gone or a backdoor in it that makes it weak.
