Ultimately, after Apple declined to help break the encryption, the FBI wound up paying a third party company to do it. — PolitiTweet.org

Barr’s criticism of encryption revives a years-long debate about the technology and recalls the 2015 San Bernardino shooting, when the FBI wanted the encrypted contents of an iPhone used by one of the attackers. — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: As part of that pushback, Facebook wrote *yesterday* to Barr arguing that calls for encryption backdoors are a “gift to criminals, hackers and repressive regimes.” Encryption may allow some criminals to evade detection, but it also *keeps* data from being stolen, FB says. — PolitiTweet.org

Today the Senate Judiciary Committee is holding a big hearing on encryption, following criticism by AG Barr of the technology and claims that it hinders law enforcement investigations. Tech and civil society groups say encryption is a vital privacy and security protection. — PolitiTweet.org

Oh, and another key thing the bill does is require telcos to offer robocall-blocking at no extra charge. Recall that the FCC has urged carriers to make the feature more widely available, but notably stopped short of saying companies should do it for free. — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate had passed an earlier version of it back in May; today’s bill reflects a consensus between House and Senate lawmakers. So now it goes back to the Senate for final approoval, and then presumably to the White House. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
Relief is coming on robocalls: The House just voted 417-3 to approve a bill that’d create stiffer fines for willful scam robocallers. It’d also force telcos to bolster caller ID with new technologies. — PolitiTweet.org

Walmart also says it supports first-time fining authority for the FTC. — PolitiTweet.org

Microsoft also supports giving the FTC the power to fine companies on a first offense, as well as the power to write regulations for businesses who would be subject to a complex and potentially confusing federal privacy law. — PolitiTweet.org

There are other ways to help make consumers whole that should be explored, Microsoft says. — PolitiTweet.org

Microsoft says it’d be open to letting consumers sue to obtain injunctive relief to stop ongoing privacy harms by a company, but that’s about as far as they seem to want to go. — PolitiTweet.org

.@Richardson_Mich points out Americans can currently sue companies under state consumer protection laws. If a national privacy law overrides state law, she says, then it’s all the more important that the national privacy law gives consumers the right to sue. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
This landmark Senate Commerce hearing on privacy legislation is unfolding pretty much as you’d expect. Industry doesn’t like the idea of giving Americans the right to sue over privacy violations or letting states write their own varying privacy laws; privacy advocates disagree. — PolitiTweet.org
