NO to FBI & Congressional efforts to dismantle encryption!<br>

<p><b>Background</b></p>
<p>Why shouldnât the government have a
âbackdoorâ into the devices of
terrorists?</p>
<p>Strong encryption is the backbone of
cybersecurity, and providing a backdoor,
even a secret one, weakens encryption,
making it easier for the âbad guysâ to
access our devices and networks.
Intelligence Chief James Clapper told the
Senate Armed Services Committee that cyber
attacks are the greatest security threat
confronting the nation. Encryption is the
first and last line of defense against
hacking.</p>
<p>While the FBI argues that encryption
backdoors are crucial to fighting terrorism,
they have also admitted that terror
organizations like ISIS will always have
access to encrypted devices made outside of
the US, not subject to any law Congress
might pass to mandate backdoors. Instead,
the FBI wants to be able to get into the
phones of low-level drug dealers and other
criminal suspects. Backdoors are another
counterterrorism tool the FBI can turn
against communities of color that will
result in ever more incarceration.</p>
<p>Encryption, of course, protects important
personal information, but also empowers
people to speak freely and to organize for
political change by safeguarding their
personal privacy. The Supreme Court has long
recognized that privacy is essential to
dissent. Not only has the FBI shown a
tendency to spy on social movements, and
would be expected to use encryption
backdoors to keep tabs on leaders and
participants, as they have used other tools
in the past.</p>
