Solution to the encryption conundrum
Dear Steve,
It's a impossible task for Apple and the likes to maintain a
store of device decryption keys.Where should these keys be stored?
China will not trust the US to hand over the keys. So China
will demand Apple to store the keys within its border.
According to the language of "manufactured… and sold", then
this means China can demand Apple to store all the keys
inside China and be readily available to the government
without any warrant as netizens of China have no privacy rights.
A more feasible solution is something like the "no fly list"
(which is illegal, btw) for encryption. No encryption if
you are mentally unstable (whatever this means),
if you are a gun owner, any criminal convictions,
drink too much, smoke pot, etc. I know this is comical
but this is the only way to satisfy every kind of
society/government.
"Encryption is a privilege not a right". Problem solve.
