I agreed that they should definitely fuck off, but this will be pushed y the security services. A change of government won’t change the drive for this sort of bollocks.

“Oh but what about the criminals, terrorists and pedos?”

The criminals, terrorists and pedos won’t by affected. They will just switch to non weakened encryption.

It’s always been about mass surveillance.
