Cotton squares off against Apple CEO | TheHill - 0 views

  •  
    Apple CEO Tim Cook was on 60 Minutes yesterday, reiterating his company's support for strong encryption. Today, Senator Tom Cotton called on Apple and other companies to install "back doors" for law enforcement agencies. I wonder if Tom Cotton has read the "Keys Under Doormats" report by Schneier, Rivest, Diffie, et al.

The government has protected your security and privacy better than you think - 3 views

  •  
    This article goes over America's security and privacy trade-off, especially after 9/11. The author argues that we have done an excellent job keeping a balance between these two approaches and, while actions such as the Paris attack may make us question if we should add more security, there is no reason to take away the privacy we have as since 9/11 we have been doing a good job of valuing both of these aspects.
