| Would you force him to give law enforcement a key to encrypted technology by making it law? - I would not want to go to that point. | |
| I would hope that given the extraordinary capacities that the tech community has and the legitimate needs and questions from law enforcement, that there could be a Manhattan-like project. | |
| Something that would bring the government and the tech communities together to see they're not adversaries. | |
| They've got to be partners. | |
| It doesn't do anybody any good. | |
| If terrorists can move toward encrypted communication that no law enforcement agency can break into before or after, there must be some way. | |
| I don't know enough about the technology, Martha. - So there's Hillary Clinton proposing a Manhattan Project for the internet That's what she's going to do as president. | |
| Of course, it's interesting that she goes with the Manhattan Project, considering that was one of the most complex intelligence and security operations during the Second World War. | |
| Of course, it created the most lethal weapon of mass destruction. | |
| But it's also going to be really awful for the Internet. | |
| But it's interesting because in 2011, the AFP actually reported that the State Department under Hillary Clinton was actively working with Arab countries to help them evade security forces. | |
| And this was coming from Michael Posner. | |
| He was the Assistant U.S. Secretary of State for Human Rights and Labor. | |
| They were talking about sponsoring efforts to help activists gain access to technology that circumvents government firewalls, secures... | |
| Telephone text and voice messages and would help prevent attacks on their websites. | |
| So basically they were giving these activists all of these tools to circumvent their government, circumvent their totalitarian regimes. | |
| They actually spent $50 million in two years to help develop these technologies to help activists protect them from arrest and prosecution by authoritarian governments. | |
| So clearly encryption is okay when you're trying to topple Somebody else's government. | |
