According to the authors of the document, it will put an end to the encryption technologies used by criminals to conceal illegal activities.

U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, along with Senators Tom Cotton and Marsha Blackburn, introduced a bill this week to protect U.S. national security interests and put an end to the encryption technologies used by terrorists and criminals to cover up illegal activities.

“Terrorists and criminals regularly use technology, whether smartphones, applications, etc., to communicate and coordinate their actions. Recently, we have been faced with many terrorist attacks and serious crimes when vital information was not available even with a court order. Unfortunately, technology companies refuse to respect these court orders and assist law enforcement in investigations. My position is clear: when law enforcement officers receive the necessary permission from the court, they should have access to information that will help in the investigation. Our bill respects and protects the privacy rights of law-abiding Americans. He also informs terrorists and criminals that they will no longer be able to hide behind technologies to hide their footprints, ”says Graham.

According to the authors of the document, the draft Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act is a balanced decision that takes into account the constitutional rights of Americans and at the same time provides law enforcement agencies with the necessary tools to protect society from crime and fighting with threats to national security.

The document obliges service providers and electronics manufacturers to assist law enforcement agencies with access to encrypted devices or data, but only after receiving a court order issued on the basis that a crime could have occurred.

“User privacy and public safety can and should work in tandem. What we learned is that in the absence of a legitimate process for submitting a warrant request, terrorists, drug dealers and kidnappers will use encrypted messages to carry out their operations, ”Blackburn said.
