What is your opinion regarding Going Dark related to encryption?

Wait until the so-called 3rd version of the Japan Camellia and the so-called "b" version of the new Kuznyechik will be widely available with the encrypting software, for a wider use… .
Then the "dark" will goes to "full dark". Actually, they know how to decrypt [partially or in whole] almost everything up to (and including) AES 256. Their work with the Kendall's tau coefficient was a quite widely known much, much before some boys with Rubik's cube became famous.

Just need to play "unrelated" to the subject for mass disinformation. )

What is your opinion regarding Going Dark related to encryption?

I am not sure how the given article is related, it seems to me more an ad to show how good the good FBI guys are, and how attentive they are at protecting the citizens of the US than anything else.

The ONLY link they provide as "continuation" of the article, as "spot" for ndcac
http//www.ndcac.cjis.gov/ndcac.htm
is invalid 😯 , it resolves to
http//www.ndcac.fbi.govndcac.htm/
which should be probably instead

And maybe the quote

Of the Going Dark problem, Director James Comey has said, “Armed with lawful authority, we increasingly find ourselves simply unable to do that which the courts have authorized us to do, and that is to collect information being transmitted by terrorists, by criminals, by pedophiles, by bad people of all sorts.” And as for a perceived conflict between keeping people safe and protecting their privacy, “it isn’t a question of conflict,” according to Comey. “We must care deeply about protecting liberty through due process of law, while also safeguarding the citizens we serve—in every investigation.”

might need to be updated with "Director" replaced by "ex-Director" or the "second Director of FBI fired by a President of the US in history (since 1968)". twisted (and the first one to introduce the hypothetical situation of kidnapped Apple Engineers before the House Judiciary Committee to make a point that noone seemingly could understand).

Definitely (notwithstanding the above) there is a conflict, and there are some questions (more than one) of conflict to which noone can answer.
