“It’s time for an urgent dialogue between the government, not just our government, and the high-tech community, to confront this problem together,” Clinton continued.
While her call may sound silly, what Clinton was likely hinting at was the war between tech companies and the government over encryption. What Clinton wants is for tech companies to give the FBI a workaround to access encrypted data.
Last month, Clinton called for Silicon Valley to cooperate with the government, stating “we need Silicon Valley not to view government as its adversary.”
What Clinton really meant by calling for tech companies to “disrupt ISIS,” was for these companies to leave openings in encryption so that the government can meddle around.
Gizmodo noted that these statements likely mean that a Clinton Administration would lbe as “pigheaded” about privacy as its predecessors.
