A coalition of tech giants have written an open letter to Congress

Ever since Apple refused to assist the FBI in cracking the San Bernadino terrorist’s iPhone, there’s been a massive debate about encryption in the United States that shows no signs of slowing down. If you’re not sure where Congress stands on the debate, I’m sure the fact our beloved legislature is currently planning to ban strong encryption entirely will tell you all you need to know. Naturally, Apple is very much opposed to this, as is most of the tech industry, which is why Facebook, Google, and Microsoft have partnered with Apple to write an open letter to Congress expressing their concerns.
