The New Liberal Podcast The Key to Encryption ft. Mike Masnick & Alec Stapp
Should the government require tech companies to provide backdoors for their encrypted devices? Techdirt founder Mike Masnick and PPI's Director of Technology Policy Alec Stapp join the show to discuss encryption. We talk about how encryption works, the bills currently making their way through congress, whether or not the government has a legitimate argument for backdoors, and whether or not those backdoors would make citizens more or less safe in the long run.
