Resolved: The United States federal government should require technology companies to provide lawful access to encrypted communications.
Encrypted communications are widespread in our everyday lives. Though they offer privacy, this same privacy can be a hindrance to law enforcement who seek to investigate criminals through their digital activities. On the other hand, forcing technology companies to create a backdoor into encrypted communications could lead to unintended consequences and loss of trust. How should we prioritize and weigh these interests?
