no no no this is all wrong..

If new york can decrypt, it means there is a backdoor

we know backdoors can be used by anyone who finds them.

this is bad not only for pplz but also for business, who will still trust us tech?

"New York can and should lead the nation in protecting its citizens, and

in responding to the misguided and dangerous attempts by digital device

manufacturers to turn digital devices into virtual safes that, being

beyond the reach of law enforcement, are havens for criminals. Revela-

tions in the recent past about NSA surveillance and similar government

intrusions on privacy have made people acutely aware of threats to their

privacy. The goal of this bill is not to limit peoples' privacy.

Peoples' privacy is protected by the warrant requirement, as it always

has been. This bill would help to protect all New Yorkers."




We Love New York
