Encryption Tops Wide-Ranging Net Agenda in Congress
By JERI CLAUSING
WASHINGTON -- As Congress returns from its summer break this week, it
faces a host of legislative initiatives that could shape the future of
online privacy, commerce and jurisdiction.
Topping the agenda is encryption, an issue that has pitted President
Clinton and his top crime fighters against virtually everybody else.
I think that's basically right. Who else (besides perhaps local and state
"crime fighters," the spooks, and some key escrow-happy businesses)
supports this policy?
