Hillary Clinton's campaign for president announced a tech policy plan June 28 and Techdirt looks at Clinton's proposals on encryption. Techdirt's Karl Bode writes, "she intends to continue waging war on encryption -- her plan for a "Manhattan Project" to "solve" (read: weaken) encryption still very much on the table." Clinton's proposal says, "Hillary rejects the false choice between privacy interests and keeping Americans safe. She was a proponent of the USA Freedom Act, and she supports Senator Mark Warner and Representative Mike McCaul’s idea for a national commission on digital security and encryption. This commission will work with the technology and public safety communities to address the needs of law enforcement, protect the privacy and security of all Americans that use technology, assess how innovation might point to new policy approaches, and advance our larger national security and global competitiveness interests." Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for president, is also against encryption, saying during the debate on whether Apple should open an iPhone for the FBI, "To think that Apple won't allow us to get into her cellphone? Who do they think they are?" Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson sided with Apple in that public discussion, and favors encryption. Green Party candidate Jill Stein's internet platform does not specifically mention encryption, but it does say she will, "protect the free Internet," and she has called Edward Snowden a hero.
