A coalition of dozens of the largest tech companies in the world is adamantly opposing any form of an official "backdoor" into encrypted devices.
The Information Technology Industry Council is a group of more than 60 major tech companies and organizations, including Google, Apple, Microsoft, Intel and Facebook.
"We deeply appreciate law enforcement's and the national security community's work to protect us," the council said in a statement issued Thursday, "but weakening encryption or creating backdoors to encrypted devices and data for use by the good guys would actually create vulnerabilities to be exploited by the bad guys, which would almost certainly cause serious physical and financial harm across our society and our economy."

If you google the quotation (which is not mine), I think you'll find that you have no sense of humor. At all.
If you want to pick on something else in my post, why not this:
E Pluribus Unum used to mean something. I'd like it if it did again.
As your tone implies that you're not so into that either.
No, no, you're not thinking; you're just being logical. --Niels Bohr
