Save Crypto: CPJ joins call for Obama to back strong encryption

By Geoffrey King/Technology Program Coordinator

The Committee to Protect Journalists has signed a petition organized by digital rights groups Access and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, urging President Barack Obama to publicly commit the U.S. to a policy of supporting strong encryption. Since the Save Crypto petition's launch on September 29, it has gathered nearly 18,000 signatures, including about 30 from press freedom and digital rights groups.

Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:

1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.

2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.

3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
