I wonder whether we're going to get a temporary break from this encryption surveillance ratchet with Biden as president, or if it'll continue regardless. This seems to be one of Barr's pet issues, and he's about to be shown the door. Still, opposition to encryption rights has historically not been partisan, so I'm not optimistic.
It depends. Biden is from an older generation and likely doesn’t view digital communication as an extension of “real life”. It’s just a convenient toy and when the “think of the children” arguments come out he’ll roll over like the rest of the boomers. Source: the many debates I got into with a bunch of old people angry that Apple wouldn’t unlock “a terrorist’s iPhone”.
