Thank you, I think this is a much clearer argument for how to proceed and how to address transparency required in business and satisfies some of my concerns.
I think we may need additional regulations for the political class however. Government communications need to be secure, but I think being a politician abdicates some privacy rights, and IMHO, if you are an elected representative, you either must use some kind of key escrow, or, you must be able to provide access to your communications under warrant, and if you fail to do so, it's grounds for impeachment.
The risk of collusion between politicians and industry is too great IMHO.
Yes, that would be a lovely outcome. Everyone gets to keep normal functional encryption, but employees (especially Senators) have to provide a backdoor key to their employer to use it for work..
