Hey All,<br>
<br>
EFF has a new petition out against key escrow (laws requiring that
encryption be breakable by the government). I encourage you to sign
it.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Joel,</h2>
<p>It's a critical moment in the
global debate over privacy,
security, and "backdoors" in
encryption technology. </p>
<p>Certain members of Congress and the
FBI want to force companies to give
the government special access to our
data. They're pushing short-sighted
proposals, like giving the
government a "golden key" to unlock
our encrypted communications.<br>
<br>
These are terrible ideas. It's not
possible to give the government
special access to our data without
creating vulnerabilities that could
be exploited by malicious actors and
other governments.</p>
<p>President Obama's senior advisors
are <a moz-do-not-send="true"

into this issue right now</a>. We
need to make sure they hear from
technology users like you.</p>
<p>We've launched a campaign through
the White House petition site
calling on the president to do the
right thing. </p>

<p>Obama has promised to respond to
any petition that gets 100,000
signatures. We launched less than a
week ago, and we already have over
30,000. <a moz-do-not-send="true"

you help us get to 100,000</a>?</p>

add your name now, and demand
strong, uncompromised encryption.</a></p>
