Back in December, we wrote about plans by Rep. Mike McCaul and Senator Mark Warner to put together a „commission“ to figure out what to do about the encryption „issue.“ In his speech, McCaul did at least say that „providing a backdoor into everybody‘s iPhone was not going to be a very good strategy“ since it would open things up to hackers, but at the very same time, he kept saying that we had to somehow stop bad people (terrorists, criminals, child predators) from using encryption. He also keeps insisting that the Paris attackers used encryption, despite lots of evidence to the contrary. So it‘s not entirely clear what the point of this Commission is, other than to chase down some mythical solution that doesn‘t exist.
