I'm in the "intelligence services know not to waste a good opportunity to expand their powers" camp. I'm not as sanguine as I used to be about Internet freedom. I can now imagine the great firewall spreading to all nations, spurred by these events and the publics general disinterest. Can you imagine how different the world might be in 20 years?

Like you said, this is very much on the lines of the US/UK govt claiming encryption as the culprit for everything. There would have been a push for this anyway, irrespective of whether the Paris attacks had happened or not. The implementation would likely be forced at ISP level, blocking known Tor nodes. But then, Tor is larger than that.
