Bill Clinton Wants to Put "Big Brother" in Your Computer
Bill Clinton believes in bureaucratic micro-management of
the information economy. Within his first 100 days as
President, Bill Clinton proposed the Clipper Chip -- a
secret government-controlled encryption algorithm -- and a
companion key escrow system where two government agencies
would hold a copy of the keys for every Clipper user. Since
then Bill Clinton has released updated versions of
encryption proposals which insist that the government hold
a key to individual's private data communications.
