Encryption technology sought to protect personal privacy, but Lawmakers like Joe Biden and President Clinton pushed hard to regulate and even ban it, fearing that criminals could use it to communicate in secret. This sparked a decades-long debate: Who gets control?
Tech pioneers like Phil Zimmerman believed digital privacy was a fundamental right. In 1991, he created the open source cryptology software Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) to help internet users keep their online communications to themselves.
This controversy nearly reshaped the future of the internet, and its effects are still felt today. Now, with artificial intelligence becoming more accessible to internet users, we’re facing similar questions: How do we protect privacy while navigating new technological frontiers? Should we rely on lessons from the past, or are new strategies needed?
