00:00Is there anything in your mind that says,

00:03gee, we have to allow law enforcement to get in

00:07because what's going on is just unacceptable?

00:11You know, the interesting thing about encryption

00:14is that it cannot be secure just for some people.

00:18ISIS and other terrorist groups,

00:20they just push a button on an application like yours,

00:25specifically yours, an application,

00:27and it's gone around the world like that.

00:31Well, again, this is the world of technology,

00:33and it's impossible to stop them at this point.

00:37ISIS could come up with their own messaging solution

00:40within a month or so if they wanted to because the...

00:43You mean create their own telegram.

00:45Exactly.

00:46Since Paris,

00:47Dorov has been purging ISIS propaganda from telegram

00:51but says if asked to unlock any private messages,

00:55he would tell the authorities that the encryption code

00:58makes it mathematically impossible

01:01using a similar argument as Apple.

01:04So you're basically saying that even if you wanted to,

01:07your hands are tied.

01:09Yes.

01:10You can't do it.

01:11We cannot.

01:12So this is one of the great debates of our time.

01:14Which is more important?

01:16Is it more important to shut down this kind of terrorism

01:20or preserve privacy?

01:22I'm personally for the privacy side,

01:24but one thing that should be clear is that

01:27you cannot make just one exception for law enforcement

01:30without endangering private communications

01:33of hundreds of millions of people

01:35because encryption is either secure or not.
