Brothers at Arms: Jeb Bush says no to crypto

Bush said, “We need to find a new arrangement with Silicon Valley in this regard because I think this is a very dangerous kind of situation.” But when the event moderator, former CNN anchor Jeanne Meserve, brought up scientists’ conclusions that giving law enforcement special access to communications also gives hackers more access, Bush didn’t explain his position any further. “Good point, except we ought to have much more cooperation when it comes to cybersecurity,” he said.
