This is rather short-sighted. The intelligence community is accusing WhatsApp and other apps that provide end-to-end encryption of providing a "place to hide" for terrorist. But what's stopping a terrorist from writing a letter in some kind of code, or develop their own encryption? Who knows, maybe they are already doing this.
Banning end-to-end encryption would be a completely ineffective measure.
- orless 10y ago(To make it clear, I'm not supporting banning end-to-end encryption in any way.) Writing a letter in some kind of code is not suitable for coordinating an operation. The intelligence community is absolutely right that WhatsApp (and likes) provide a "place to hide" for terrorists. The thing is, however, that they provide "a place to hide" for all of us. Hiding terrorists is collateral damage. Banning end-to-end encryption will be very effective in creating a black/gray market of end-to-end encryption apps.
