At SXSW, President Obama argues unbreakable encryption “can’t be the right answer”

Meanwhile, in the Senate, a key critic changes his stance

At this year’s SXSW in Austin, TX, President Barack Obama addressed the tech community directly on the issue of encryption, stating that those who are in favor of strong encryption, no matter what, are not on the side of American values.
