Encryption won't become illegal, but not divulging how to decrypt something to the government is a possibility.
>>
And why shouldn't it be? You could be hiding illegal things. Albeit, I am very liberal and I do believe that the government should control nearly all aspects of our economic life, but to say encryption shouldn't be outlawed is just stupid.

I can't wait until the day when our government controls all economic aspects of our life. It will make things much more simple for everyone, and equal.

Given how liberals have started defining hate speech from free speech in an attempt to emulate religious moralism in the form of authoritarian cultism that stiffles individualism for a "higher cause", and started dealing with making exceptions in everything that adhere to their own ideological "book of rules",
he knows perfectly well what liberalism has become.

Yes, but how does one go about banning encryption? Say AES-256 is banned tomorrow in the entire western world, but those laws don't apply to Samsung, Huawei or hell, even a Russian webpage that someone undoubtedly goes to. So now everyone who agreed to ban encryption is at a technological disadvantage in the market, and additionally, how do you deal with those who didn't agree? Do you ban their broducts and risk crushing the global market? No way in hell anyone would agree to that.

And even if every nation in the world agrees to ban encryption (somehow) that doesn't stop rogue states like Daesh from using it, giving their citizens a technological advantage over the rest of the world.

So in conclusion, banning encryption is just a thing politicians spout to garner support from dew-eyed fools who have no understanding of technology or the global economy. They will never do it, but it sounds really good in a speech.

They won't do this, journalists oversimplify. They won't explicitly ban encryption algorithms but intent to evade government surveillance. Strong encryption algorithms are all right as long as you send the encryption keys to the government :^). Also I'm pretty sure that the exact law would be like ~1000 pages long and ambiguous as fuck.
>>
>>51653969
That won't really work though, because a lot of corporations are already headquartered outside of the U.S. to evade tax law. That would also let them evade encryption law.

Also since Ireland isn't a member of FVEY they can't be finagled into passing the same law.

Sure, the US have no legal control over communication that doesn't involve the US.

However if the communication is between A and B and A is in the US but B is not then it can still require A to send the encryption keys to the US government.

They'll just do an Apple and say, "We can't do that, sorry :^)"

Apple can only say that because that they can claim that they offer encryption to their users they can't break into. If such a law passes then it would be stupid to do the same. They would openly admit that they are breaking this very law.
