So with the UK government at least, this seems to keep creeping up. The idea of making encrypted messaging apps, such as WhatsApp, illegal - In the interest of "national security".
Im curious as to other peoples view points in this. I am far from a tin foil hat user in that I know google scan my emails for content and when I talk to friends - there is nothing id care about being leaked. That said I know some people have heavily confidential uses for encrypted messages - such as big companies perhaps who cannot afford to have certian things leaked.
So for me - Do I care if my discussion is end to end encrypted? No - Not really.
Do I care if the government read my emails? - No, they'll mostly see companies trying to get me to buy adult enhancements drugs/devices that I never asked for.
Would I perfer certain agencies to be able to read my, and everybody elses messaegs, if it means a terrorist attack is less likely - I certainly would!
However - I know its a touch subject, and people want privacy. What's your view?
