Headline : UK Prime Minister says encrypted messaging apps without backdoor access will be banned.

Excerpt from the link " Recently, and in light of recent terror events in Paris, France, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom has come forward and said, matter-of-factly, that if the government is not provided backdoor access to encrypted messaging services, or chat apps, that they will just simply be banned from the country altogether. This doesn’t just include apps like SnapChat, WhatsApp or others, but also would systematically include Apple’s own iMessage service:

“Are we going to allow a means of communications which it simply isn’t possible to read?” Cameron said Monday while campaigning, in reference to apps such as WhatsApp, Snapchat, and other encrypted services. “My answer to that question is: ‘No, we must not.’“

My thoughts :

Very real reasons for this to be highlighted due to recent events but I'm not convinced, yet, that the government should have backdoor access to certain Apps. Hopefully more information will be forthcoming.

What do you think ?

Can I just make it clear I don't have anything to hide!  If the government really wants to see pictures of Harry and know what he's been doing then they're more than welcome!

I just don't trust this or any other government to do what's best for the general population.

Anything to stop the atrocities happening in this sad world has to be welcomed. It's a fact that if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to worry about....
