    Weaker encryption is a bad idea. It makes us less secure and doesn't do that much to stop terrorism. Me for the NYT.http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/22/opinion/stopping-whatsapp-wont-stop-terrorists.html …

        I know encryption often gets argued as privacy vs. surveillance but there is much more at stake, and that is not what we are trading.

        I tried to explain why public-key encryption IS a big deal. But it's here to stay, for a lot of good—but real issues as well.

        .@zeynep --And, in terms of effectiveness, how is the USA going to stop people from side-loading secure comms apps onto Android phones?

        @StevenRoosa @zeynep Probably the same way they disallow DRM circumvention. That is, only harms non-malicious users.

        @mikeokner @mattblaze Thank you! I think this issue is understandably confusing to people who are not best friends with Alice and Bob..

        @ncweaver In this particular case, it doesn't even seem the attackers needed any kind of encryption. Probably generalizable to a degree.

        @ncweaver I know we can't rule out encryption being used in an attack. But there are other, probably more effective, ways to counter that.

        @ncweaver @zeynep Fwiw, in several terrorism cases, the attackers were brothers or other relatives, or other spent time together IRL

        @jabolins @ncweaver Turkey's Suruc and Ankara bombers were brothers. Some Paris attackers were brothers. etc.
