This begs the question of there being a "scourge" of child porn and terrorist propaganda. You're also assuming the UK's attack on encryption would do anything at all to combat either thing let alone end the presumed "scourge".
Strong encryption is the foundation of pretty much all online commerce. Without it little else is practical online. It's not up to the EFF to come up with solutions to made up or exaggerated issues.
- tivert 3y ago> This begs the question of there being a "scourge" of child porn and terrorist propaganda. You're also assuming the UK's attack on encryption would do anything at all to combat either thing let alone end the presumed "scourge". And the "terrorist propaganda" part doesn't make sense. Propaganda is useless if it doesn't reach an audience, and encryption is all about restricting the audience. I mean, didn't ISIS put up its propaganda videos on Youtube? They're hardly trying to hide it out of sight.

Until now it's been knocked down for the ridiculousness it is. "They only have to be lucky once, you have to be lucky every time"
