ADVISORY: REP. LIEU JOINS THE WILSON CENTER’S NATIONAL CONVERSATION PANEL ON ENCRYPTION
WASHINGTON – On Thursday, March 3, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D-Los Angeles County) will join the Wilson Center’s National Conversation panel on encryption, “Will They or Won’t They? Understanding the Encryption Debate.”
In a California court, Apple CEO Tim Cook and FBI Director James Comey are battling over the phone of the San Bernardino gunman - an iPhone that Comey says Apple has a legal obligation to help unlock. Apple, for its part, says that aiding the FBI here would undermine both security and privacy for millions of smartphone users. For technologists, policymakers and everyday smartphone users, the dispute is uncharted territory. Introduced this year, Congressman Lieu will discuss his “ENCRYPT ACT,” legislation that would preempt state and local government encryption laws to ensure a uniform, national policy for the interstate issue of encryption technology.
