crypto-terrorists [part II]

Back in the old /prog/ I warned you about it; now things are getting more clear:

Encryption a growing threat to security [...]
Unfortunately, this scenario is not at all far-fetched. Recently, FBI Director James Comey testified before Congress that terror groups such as ISIS are using encrypted programs to hide their communications and recruiting messages from U.S. federal agencies.[...]
What could a solution look like? The most obvious one is that U.S. tech companies keep a key to that encrypted communication for legitimate law enforcement purposes.
they should also keep a master key, because it may one day save thousands of lives

So don't worry, we will make those damn encryption ``algorithms'' (an arab/terrorist word) illegal in the next couple of years!

master key = backdoor? what are they talking about?

its impossible to make encryption illegal, the same way it is impossible to make pirating illegal. (Sure, it is illegal, but it is also a daily phenomenon).
