The FBI has been really screaming its head off about the evils of encryption over the last year or so. Director James Comey keeps fearmongering about encryption, though when asked to give examples of cases where encryption had created problems, all of his „examples“ turn up empty. Yet, the FBI keeps insisting that something needs to be done and, if not, there‘s a real risk of „going dark.“ One of Comey‘s top deputies has insisted that tech companies need to „prevent encryption above all else.“ And the fearmongering is working. Some politicians are already freaking out about this so-called „going dark“ scenario.
