CGP Grey on digital encryption

CGP Grey drops some very good knowledge on digital encruption and the recent fight for it in specific relation to the San Bernardino massacre and the encrypted iPhone the FBI wanted unlocked by Apple.

It's a good reminder that even though our fight seems strong at the moment for digital encryption the same isn't always necessarily true for other countries where hackers are happy to hack away without consequence. Having one backdoor vulnerability, no matter how good the intention is, is a bad, bad, bad form of encryption for all.
