P.s Trump must go... and fast. This bullshit is already too far gone. Wake up america. This man is not a President, he's a dictator. Security has nothing to do with online encyption, has everything to do with money.

I mean go on ban it, you can then use obsfucation networks like Zcoin's or Monero's to relay messages. Are you going to ban those networks too. If you did, you just banned two of the most powerful tools that private citizens had in the 21st century. You can as well violate their homes, take away their children. After all those children may turn into criminals, who knows? Better safe than sorry. We cannot tolerate criminality even of it means that you *become* a criminal state so that to contain it...
Lol, all those are so funny to read from all over here. The land of the free is becoming the land of the enslaved...

1. don't buy US made products,
2. don't use US made apps.
e2e encryption isn't rocket science. I have a C++ book on my shelf which teaches all this.
Lots of source code/apps on Github if you're interested.
You don't have to use Google/Apple provided encryption, write your own if you must.

Ok so law enforcement wants to see everything so people will not have anything private. However governments are appointing law enforcement and governments are politicians and politicians are dirty. Who will guarantee that this kind power will not be used by them to be more powerful or to shape and control country and people according to their will?

Encryption should not be a problem when the NSA and FBI already can get into whose ever devices anyway. Police have warrants issued if they have reason to believe the suspect had intent or circumstance. Sting operations also capture criminals. Why is encryption a big deal if no one is really sure who is on the other line? The fact these Trump officials do not think officers can capture criminals within encrypted networks is ignorant. What is really going on is that freedom of privacy is taken away under the guise of fighting crime when in reality big governments' bloated bureaucracies want to have power in any way possible. They make more money with the surveillance state. They get money and power in the Police State.

There's a famous quote from Benjamin Franklin, "Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Here's the updated version: "Those who would give up essential liberty, in order to give up essential safety, are stupid."

So, the US government may consider banning math (prime numbers used for strong encryption) like Australia did? Ridiculous -- one can't simply ban mathematics and expect a modern economy to continue smoothly.
