An anonymous reader writes about Snowden's appearance on a debate with CNN's Fareed Zakaria:
Edward Snowden defended the importance of encryption, calling it the "backbone of computer security."
He said, "Encryption saves lives. Encryption protects property.
Without it, our economy stops.
Our government stops.
Everything stops.
Our intelligence agencies say computer security is a bigger problem than terrorism, than crime, than anything else," he noted. "[...] Lawful access to any device or communication cannot be provided to anybody without fatally compromising the security of everybody."
