She's probably being led by the intelligence services on this, and of course they have ulterior motives, their ultimate project is to collect all signals, or as many as they can manage, which apps like whatsapp are thwarting at present.
Why can't we collect all the signals all the time?
This is incredibly dangerous for our society, no-one should have that much power. That power isn't about terrorism (or even very useful against terrorism), but about subverting governments, judiciary and businesses.

And why when they discover the political class engaging in crimes they do not bring them to justice (like the Westminster paedophilia scandal). They like to keep all their dirt on file so they are easily controlled and can be forced to enact the draconian laws the deep state wants.
- grey-area 10y agoI imagine they reserve blackmail for cases where it is deemed necessary; given the views of the PM and HS, I doubt any blackmail is necessary.

- pjc50 10y agoIronically the early stages of such talks were held in a chip shop via a senior civil servant as a proxy, because it was vital to keep this "collusion" away from the awareness of security forces. (There was a great documentary about this on TV, but I cannot remember the name of it)
