How does encryption (or the lack thereof) affect American freedom of speech online?
In: Technology
It doesn’t just affect your freedom of speech. It also affects your right to privacy.
But in relation to your question, the way I see it is that you may feel that you can no longer say what you wanted to say because it could be being viewed by someone you don’t want to see it. You may not have anything to hide, but why does that mean that someone else should be able to know everything about you? Privacy and free speech are more intertwined than we initially think, and both are threatened by the encryption ban. Personally I believe that the greatest risk is leaning toward the privacy issue.
