Gotta say, this is pretty 1984ish. To not allow any form of communication without a way for governments to read it is a massive invasion of privacy, and can really only be defended under the old pretext of if you don't have anything to hide you have nothing to fear. Hopefully some lawmakers realize this guy is a little off the deep end and sink this whole thing.Online messaging services like WhatsApp and Snapchat may face a ban in Britain as prime minister David Cameron has vowed to introduce a slew of legislations that would deny terrorists a "safe space" to communicate online in the aftermath of a series of terror attacks in France.
The proposed legislation would provide a new legal framework that will authorize British intelligence agencies to crack the communications of terror suspects if there was specific intelligence of an imminent attack.
Cameron asked, "Are we going to allow a means of communications where it simply is not possible to do that?" He responded by saying: "no, we must not," reported The Guardian."
Several messaging services like, Snapchat, Apple's iMessage, WhatsApp and others, encrypt messages sent through their applications. If the legislation comes into effect, all such services will be banned that do not allow any access to the communications.
