David Cameron is something awful admin Ralp. It is pretty obvious if you think about it.

but he said that he doesn't want to outlaw ALL encryption, just the kinds that are hard to break

so if your encryption is easy to break you can use it!!! that's cool right? what a nice human being he is

terminator 2 and aliens were good, but i think encryption is useful somehow so maybe he is wrong about it?

Yeah don't worry if you're in real trouble a secret court will just be given total access to your everything and you won't even be allowed to see what evidence is being presented against you to defend yourself.

Ours is a fine democracy.

The rule is that all encryption needs a backdoor put in so the govt can unlock it, if it passes it will be great watching companies like google and apple pull out of the market in protest

any backdoor that can be used by the government can be used by China just as easily. also lol if you think that you can outlaw mathematics. encryption is like guns for nerds, they will make drat sure it gets around no matter what

forgetting you password is a crime, though depending on what they are after you for it might makes sense anyway
