Hillary's take on privacy on the internet? [View all]

One thing I've worried about is Hillary's message on privacy.

Her calls for a "Manhattan-like project" to break encryption make me think she's going to be for more programs like the ones Snowden disclosed. She's also been generally anti-encryption in the past. She's also never really come out against language such as the problematic parts of TPP which could affect whistleblowers, and given the current track record I wouldn't expect her to be protective of whistleblowers.

I don't see these things discussed a lot so I'm really interested in discussion around this topic. Are there anything that would show her in a better light on these issues, or is there any agreement her stance here problematic?
