Josh Shapiro

Agree

No

Shapiro would likely agree with not requiring tech companies to provide backdoor access, aligning with mainstream Democratic concerns about privacy, cybersecurity, and the risks of creating vulnerabilities that could be exploited by bad actors. While he supports law enforcement, his background as Attorney General included balancing public safety with constitutional rights. The Democratic Party, especially post-2016, has generally opposed government-mandated encryption backdoors, citing the Apple v. FBI case as a precedent. Shapiro's positions suggest he would support strong encryption and resist broad government access mandates.

Disagree

Yes

Josh Shapiro, as Pennsylvania Governor and former Attorney General, has generally supported law enforcement but also shown respect for civil liberties and privacy. While he has advocated for strong action against crime and cyber threats, there is no public record of him explicitly supporting government-mandated backdoors in encryption. Given the Democratic Party's general skepticism toward weakening encryption (citing privacy and security risks), Shapiro would likely be wary of such measures, though he might be open to narrowly tailored exceptions for national security. His record suggests he would lean against broad backdoor requirements.
