The Five Eyes + 1 nations are positively Orwellian. They say "We, the undersigned, support strong encryption, which plays a crucial role in protecting personal data, privacy, intellectual property, trade secrets and cyber security,” the Statement commences, adding: “Encryption is an existential anchor of trust in the digital world and we do not support counter-productive and dangerous approaches that would materially weaken or limit security systems.” Which is to say, they support encryption but then they want to have a backdoor that would materially weaken or limit security systems. Orwell would have been proud that double speak has emerged again in the wild.
