AUSTIN, Texas, March 16 (UPI) -- Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., made an appearance at SXSW on Monday, and he made some statements about technology.
"There is a right to privacy and the government needs to stay out," he said of the government's mass surveillance, according to US News & World Report. "If they want to look at your information, if they want to collect any of your data, they should do it with a judge's warrant with probable cause if they think you have committed a crime." He went further by saying he supports Google and Apple's efforts to encrypt communications so the government can't access them.
