How does encryption (or the lack thereof) affect American freedom of speech online?
In: Technology
It’s not so much an issue of freedom of speech as it is one of a right to privacy. Banning encryption is like banning private conversations and requiring all your conversations to happen in public where anyone can overhear. It may affect freedom of speech indirectly by making people afraid to say things they only feel comfortable saying privately, but it’s mostly a privacy issue.
