Unbelievable, shows the true mindset of intelligence agencies: WE WANT ALL YOUR DATA NOW!!

The more they push this agenda, the more companies are (hopefully) going to develop, and encourage their customers to use, encryption.


There is no respect for privacy. The argument 'if you have nothing to hide you shouldn't worry' is quite bad. Just because you want to hunt down terrorists doesn't mean that you should have access to all my private stuff. Just imagine the private conversations, documents and pictures (!) that people keep on a phone.
There are things that are meant for just 1 person to see.


The next person who says to me 'if you have nothing to hide....' is going to get a punch in the face lol

I don't buy any of their terrorist scaremongering, which is all it is. Can't remember a single time when a ISIS member got caught updating their Facebook profile, it just doesn't happen. Glad I spent all of my childhood without mobile phones and social media.
