Tech industry leaders have warned that any system requiring a 'backdoor' to encryption would undermine its privacy protections altogether.

A group of Republican senators introduced a bill Tuesday that would weaken the lawful use of encryption in communication services so law enforcement officials could gain access with a warrant.

Tech industry leaders have warned that any system requiring a "backdoor" to encryption would undermine its privacy protections altogether. The tech industry has fought to maintain the integrity of encryption, which prevents even the companies that make the devices or platforms from being able to access their contents. Encrypted services only let the sender and recipient see messages. Law enforcement officials have insisted that they must have some way to access encrypted platforms and devices when investigating crimes.
