  •  Encryption is good for christians

    The topic of encryption and law enforcement has been back in the new cycle with the EARN IT Act being reintroduced to congress this year. Part of this act resurfaces the idea that there should be a way for law enforcement to eavesdrop on communications—even when they’re encrypted.
