It’s insane how intense the UK is being about breaking encryption. I could understand the hysteria if they had just suffered a terror attack or something and were riding public outrage, but as far as I know this is just based on some nebulous national security/protect the kids justification.
It’s insane. The U.S. and E.U. are not doing any better. The west is becoming a surveillance state.

A Synagogue was attacked yesterday so yeah, they likely will be.
One of the victims was killed by the police, another wounded by them.
Yeah, but there was still a terror attack, one where the police shot the wrong people, but that can still be used, can it not?
Don't think that happened yet when I commented, but there you go - just the justification the UK government is looking for.
They have some fucked up priorities
Well, a backdoor isn't a problem if it is an client side encryption, with it they may access the cloud data but they will see only this, encrypted data, because not even the ckoud provider can desencrypt these data. If you are investigated, they must visit you in person with an court order to give them the locally stored or memorized encryption password or spend a lot of time and effort to crack the code, almost impossible depending the used encryption systemwith normally 256 bits or more. The backdoor only make sense if the Cloud provider stores an recovery code to restore your data when you lose ore forget your encryption password, which isn't the case when they want to offer an safe and no knowledge service. In these loosing your encryption password is loosing your data, the price of security.
The best time to turn on adp was yesterday, the second best time is now.
Isn't this a definition of harassment? When you say NO and they keep pushing/pressing? For real...
