“Russia is not the only nation whose lawmakers and politicians are heading in this direction, especially when it comes to requiring backdoors for encrypted communications. Time and time again, technologists and civil liberties groups have warned the United States, France, Holland, and a host of other nations that the anti-encryption laws they propose cannot be obeyed without rewriting the laws of mathematics. Politicians have often responded by effectively telling the Internet’s experts ‘don’t worry, you’ll work out a way.’ Let us be clear: government backdoors in encrypted communications make us all less safe, no matter which country is holding the keys.”
