AT&T CEO won't join Tim Cook in fight against encryption backdoors

But tech company leaders aren't all joining the fight against
the deliberate weakening of encryption. AT&T CEO Randall
Stephenson said this week that AT&T, Apple, and other tech
companies shouldn't have any say in the debate. "I don't think
it is Silicon Valley's decision to make about whether encryption
is the right thing to do," Stephenson said in an interview with
The Wall Street Journal. "I understand [Apple CEO] Tim Cook's
decision, but I don't think it's his decision to make." AT&T
has been criticized repeatedly for its cooperation with the US
National Security Agency, but Stephenson says his company has
been singled out unfairly.
