She still touts a "Manhattan-like project" [1] to break encryption, calling it "cybersecurity" does not change that. This alone is enough to lose my support.
Maybe this really can be the year of the 3rd party.
This idea of her's scares me. There is mathematically no way to allow the government access to encrypted documents without potentially allowing bad actors access to them. It's math, you can't just change math because you will it.
And even if you could somehow get encryption that maintains security and allows government investigation, there is no stoping people from just using software written outside the law.
And that is assuming that you don't consider the government itself or any person who works for it as a potential bad actor.
That whole idea is all sorts of bad. It makes law abiding citizens less safe while doing almost nothing for our security.

Regardless of whether you support Hillary or not (or for that matter Trump or not), it will never be the year of the 3rd party due to the US (and UK's) use of First-past-the-post electoral system [1]. The Spoiler Vote [2] is a real thing.
She suggests the setting up of a national commission to look into it:
> a national commission on digital security and encryption.
"This commission will work with the technology and public safety communities to address the needs of law enforcement, protect the privacy and security of all Americans that use technology, assess how innovation might point to new policy approaches, and advance our larger national security and global competitiveness interests,"
> The decision to announce her technology imperatives outside of Silicon Valley may seem strange,
Given the response from Silicon Valley to the "Manhattan-like Project" on compromising digital privacy, the most political salient piece of those "imperatives" -- which has been announced previously, though some of the other elements may not have been -- its not at all surprising that she chose to announce the "tech platform" somewhere else.
> The decision to announce her technology imperatives outside of Silicon Valley may seem strange, but it represents one of the platform objectives: to democratize tech industry growth across the country, rather than just leaving the industry isolated on its most well-known turf.
