Republicans Who Don’t Understand Encryption Introduce Bill to Break It (vice.com) 41 points by jbegley 6y ago ↗ HN
[–] youeseh 6y ago ↗ Isn't the fight against encryption a bipartisan effort? [–] allzeros 6y ago ↗ > Three Republican senators, who have never showed that they understand how encryption works, have now introduced a bill...I don't see anything about democrats. [–] thephyber 6y ago ↗ Possibly, but this bill isn't (publicly?) supported by Democrat leadership. [–] acruns 6y ago ↗ Yes. EARNIT from earlier this year was bipartisan. http://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/blog/2020/01/earn-it-act-how-ba...

[–] simonblack 6y ago ↗ Perhaps it's time to legislate that pi = 3 again.This bullshit has happened more recently elsewhere:https://www.zdnet.com/article/the-laws-of-australia-will-tru...And why does it appear to be conservative politicians, more often than not, who have no idea when it comes to science?
[–] soylentcola 6y ago ↗ Unrelated to the topic (because I'd likely just be preaching to the choir): Vice really needs to step up their proofreading. Just skimming part of the article I saw at least two obvious typos.> "the billions of people that out protects everyday"> "Andrew Crocker, a senioor staff attorney"
