Quote<<<Speaking today at hipster-circle-jerk SXSW in Austin, Texas, the United States' Commander in Chief said phones and computers cannot be unbreakable "black boxes," and that an "absolutist" view on encryption won't fly with the laws and courts of the land.

Of course, the President and his staff, his military, his government agencies and his intelligence services all rely on tough and non-compromised encryption – but that's not for you. You're too busy "fetishizing" your smartphone, the leader of the free world said.>>>end of quote

He also gives reasons and precedents and how we should all be reasonable people and not be absolutists...
