Re: AG Barr: USG Seeks Front Door to Encryption Not Backdoor

AG Barr, Cypherpunks disagree. We generally only endorse open source, e2e,
encryption for p2p communications with no societal or government say so. We
countenance no provision for legal access. Secure, even covert,
communications is a right which need only be perfected between the the
communicating parties.
