  1. This @WIRED piece by @StevenLevy is a good explanatory feature on the Ray Ozzie-led push to develop a key-escrow-on-device encryption-access system. wired.com/story/crypto-war-clear-encryption/ (which I wrote about here nytimes.com/2018/03/24/us/politics/unlock-phones-encryption.html ) but I disagree with its narrative history. /1

      The present cycle did not originate with Snowden->default-encrypted iphones->San Bernardino. The FBI began making its new Going Dark push around 2010 under Mueller, and was on the cusp of getting Obama WH backing for legislation when Snowden leaks temporarily derailed it. /2
