It’s insane how intense the UK is being about breaking encryption. I could understand the hysteria if they had just suffered a terror attack or something and were riding public outrage, but as far as I know this is just based on some nebulous national security/protect the kids justification.
It’s insane. The U.S. and E.U. are not doing any better. The west is becoming a surveillance state.
A Synagogue was attacked yesterday so yeah, they likely will be.
One of the victims was killed by the police, another wounded by them.
Yeah, but there was still a terror attack, one where the police shot the wrong people, but that can still be used, can it not?
Don't think that happened yet when I commented, but there you go - just the justification the UK government is looking for.
