The "illegal guns" the terrorists used in France were brought from outside of the country. So now Cameron thinks he can stop a freaking app from entering the country? I mean he can't be that stupid, can he? I don't think he is, because I think this new proposed law has nothing to do with terrorism and has a completely different agenda behind it.
- sitharus 12y agoI guess the idea is the old "Only criminals use encryption, so you must be a criminal". Of course, given that the big crime networks are sophisticated this won't stop them. They'll go back to old cyphers and steganography. Same goes for the compulsory handing over of encryption keys, there are now multi-level encrypted filesystems, where you have n keys where each opens a different set of files. Have a few keys protecting embarrassing but not incriminating files and disclose those. Surely scifi has taught us that totalitarianism never wins?
