(Thanks, Jeff) http://home.netscape.com/newsref/ref/encryption_export.html says (via JW):
This week Netscape representatives attending a government presentation of the administration's proposed Key Escrow Policy for Export detailed the company's firm opposition to the proposed policy. Netscape is opposed to this type of proposal for a number of reasons including [...] significant personal privacy concerns, [...] consumers inside the United States would be forced to use a government-approved key-escrow product if they value the ability to communicate with others outside the United States. [...] 3. Corporate and individual rights to privacy are placed in question by the current U.S. Government escrow proposal and process. This is so because of the mandatory nature of the proposal resulting from the key escrow requirement itself [...]
This is pretty weak w.r.t. GAK ("rights to privacy are placed in question by the current [...] proposal"). Most of the position statement really addresses the key length limit. But as far as I'm concerned, it falls clearly on the anti-GAK side of the line. (The phrasing "the mandatory nature of the proposal resulting from the key escrow requirement itself" is a bit ambiguous. I'm taking it to refer to the mandatory nature of Clipper etc.) -Futplex <futplex@pseudonym.com>
