In the US Senate hearings yesterday the Department of Justice and FBI continued to push for access to consumers' encrypted data, citing as "necessary" for the efforts of law enforcement. Specifically, they argued that encryption is an obstacle to hunt criminals such as pedophiles and suspected terrorists, and that public safety concerns must be balanced with the rights of privacy of consumers.
These officials believe that end to end encryption technology, especially technology integrated in mobile devices, hampers their efforts to implement the law because it prohibits them to intercept messages sent by suspected criminals.
