We should be talking about money
Politicians like money. They understand money. You weaken encryption standards? We steal all your money. It's that simple.
You know that little machine you put your credit card in at that nice restaurant last night? You know how that works? Encryption.
Remember when you booked a cab on the internet the other week? Encryption.
That record you bought on Amazon? Encryption.
Traded stocks recently? Surprise! Encryption there too.
You ruin encryption, all that good stuff has to go away. Fuck with encryption and all indirect, non-cash commerce is going to have to go away, and trust me, that's going to be a damn sight worse for the overall prosperity of your country than anything that angry young men with bullets and explosives can achieve.
