Comment on Bill Proposed to Outlaw End to End Encryption

Comments

Incentivizes technical innovation.
Directs the Attorney General to create a prize competition to award participants who create a lawful access solution in an encrypted environment, while maximizing privacy and security.

Is this a joke?

This type of “warrant-proof” encryption adds little to the security of the communications of the ordinary user
"It adds so little but we actually need to remove it because we can't see it"

It'd be funny except for the senate.gov URL

I think what they mean to say is “ordinary users don't need crypto for everyday conversations”. Which leads to “if you got nothing to hide...”.

while providing law enforcement the tools needed to protect the public from everyday violent crime

uhh.. I'm thinking joke too. Nothing improves protection against _everyday_ violent crime, like... removing end to end encryption??

"Incentivizes architecting sturdy and secure buildings using only toothpicks as foundations."
