To summarize, remove encryption from business because you can enforce it easily and leaving companies more vulnerable than today. Lets just let Chinese gvt hackers right in and build these "back doors" that no one other than the "good guys" will find...ROFL WTF I don't know how he plans on stopping terrorists from working on their own devices and encrypting them... Its takes minutes to install an app and start chatting encrypted or to encrypt your phone. There are so many different levels and types of encryption and he sees it as a scary blanket term that terrorists use to hide from the US. Too bad YOU CANT STOP MATH Mc Cain.
I am guessing Mc Cain needs a rotary dial app on his phone just so he can use it.

considering the man was a navy fighter pilot, and his seat on the Armed Services Committee & Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs
i'm pretty sure his phone has an app that he can program a drone with gps coordinates for your IP address registered with your local internet provider. add some laser detection googles to your tin foil hat there buddy, you're a marked target. YOUR RANDOM DHS MONITORED PHRASE OF THE DAY:

What security is threatened? Spell it out please, and provide examples where something was actually prevented by having access to someone's private data. "Our security is threatened" is a rather nebulous thing, more to spread fear than being actually productive.
End to end encryption overall is good for both personal and national security. No backdoors means there is nothing to hack into for either good guys or bad guys. And last time I checked, the bad guys are pretty adept at getting into things.
So the US gets their backdoor, all rosy just for them. Then China demands one, followed by say India. Who and how do you tell someone they can't have a backdoor once the camels nose is under the tent?
Not to mention economic harm to American tech companies trying to sell their products overseas.
i don't know exactly what was prevented, but 2 days (thursday) before the paris attacks happened 20 muslims were arrested in d.c. 3 days (wednesday) before that 4 somalis near the mall of america were arrested, oh and also all those muslims in belgium what was it a week 2 weeks before?......all on terrorist charges for terrorist network chatter picked up via nsa internet spying. they knew something was going down, we just didn't find out what in time to stop paris, however these guys were in america, not paris, so we won't find out until they are convicted for what they planned here in america...that will take 3-7 years judging from past case examples.
i was automatically against this until i put in some serious thought about why somebody would have something to hide and the big tobacco lawsuit from the 1990's popped into mind right away, alot of that was uncovered in intercompany memo's, with out those critical elements uncovered we would have never known that big tobacco companies KNEW their products were causing cancer 5-7 years after required FDA testing trials ended. granted i am sort of still split on this to the point nobody had a gun held to their heads and were forced to smoke every single time...just the facts they knew and put stuff in their products that were addicting and lethal at the same time was all it takes to know end to end encryption would have prevented the truth from ever coming out.
i still want to know everything that was done to require my indentured servitude to keep too big to fail operating, i don't like slaving away for the rest of you any more than i have to, i will be damned if i am forced to keep criminals in business.
