How do you feel about the government putting limits on encryption? It seems like every time they get shot down, they keep trying again a few months or a year later. I don't think they'll give up until they get what they want.

>The UK government has explicitly confirmed that a surveillance bill now making its way through the second chamber could be used to require a company to remove encryption. And even, in some circumstances, to force a comms service provider not to use end-to-end encryption to secure a future service they are developing. The details were revealed during debate of the Investigatory Powers Bill at a committee session in the House of Lords this week.

Here's another article:
>During a committee stage debate in the UK's House of Lords yesterday, the government revealed that the Investigatory Powers Bill will provide any Secretary of State with the ability to force communication service providers (CSPs) to remove or disable end-to-end encryption.

>Earl Howe, a minister of state for defence and deputy leader in the House of Lords, gave the first explicit admission that the new legislation would provide the British government with the ability to force CSPs to “develop and maintain a technical capability to remove encryption that has been applied to communications or data.”

This tbqh. The attack in Nice showed that more needs to be done to stop terrorism. If a few pedos get caught along the way, all the better. Literally the only people who have a problem with this are those who use encrypted communication to commit illegal activities.

All forms of civil liberties are going to disappear very soon. Theresa May hates all rights and freedoms, and now she's the Prime Minister. We're all doomed. I haven't done anything really bad ever, but it's a slippery slope and I can absolutely see major websites getting completely banned from the UK if they adversely affect the profits of a corporation with a lot of lobbyists. Want to watch TV online? Sky don't want you to, so you'd better hurry up. If your ISP can block streaming websites that are known for piracy, they can block anything they want and force you to surrender all your private details to watch the catch-up TV you already pay for through advertising anyway. Websites that don't make you do that will be blocked. Free-market competition my ass.

Since corporations use encryption to hide tax evasion and dirty kebabs for murder. who cares. there will always be a backyard alternative that kebabs are not l33t enough to be aware of. literally FUCK kebabs. and FUCK pedos.

As soon as any tech hits their realm, which may as well be mainstream since they are tech casuals, gov blinkers will go on.

Neither sub group are at the forefront of anything. Fuck em.

Do you actually believe the entire world populations output of encryption systems will be broken open because that is a lot of resources required that will need diverting from all other areas.

my perception of terrorists are essentially cyber babies who use mainstream widely available and publicized encryption. Being a brute also makes them dumb cunts. Thuggish and war mongering, but not l33t.

However, you need carefully crafted title and specifically chosen .png to grab attention - otherwise your thread will die in fast-moving boards. Try posting 'why do milennials X?' and a screenshot of some article's title for 100+ replies.

Parisian here. I have ~10 friends that lost someone during the attacks in Paris, and I would like to say fuck you.
Instead of losing time spying on every citizen, I prefer that our government use their resources to spy on actual terrorists, people that are known to be pro- isis and to have a better penitential system to avoid what happened.

You can find a lot of articles, interviews of people talking about that kind of stuff and explaining why those laws are useless and a threat to democracy and freedom. But what's the point on telling you that since you'll just stay uneducated and won't even bother to watch or read it.

t. tinfoil hat-wearing retard

The government are trying to stop terrorism and other forms of despicable crime like child abuse. These doomsday scenarios where they control the entire internet for the benefit of corporations is fantasist bullshit. We have to be willing to give up certain freedoms in order to be safe. Not being able to hide from the law and commit illegal activities without consequence is a pretty small one. Just don't break the law, it's not hard. Tens of millions of people manage it every day.
