The battle over encryption...

By @justin4/21/2016technology

tl;dr - discuss the pro's and con's of encryption

With the recent news of an Israeli firm unlocking an iPhone for the U.S. government, many arguments have been raised both in support of, and against, encryption.

  • Should we allow backdoors for the government?
  • Will these backdoors actually have any benefit in preventing crimes?
  • Should companies comply with the government and assist with cracking their own devices?

Would love to hear your thoughts as primarily cryptocurrency users (as of time of writing) who are generally more technology proficient than the general public.
