I don't think if that comes through that they will have it easier to bust criminal activity. If someone wants to hide in the internat they can. The internet isn't a country where you can setup rules. Of course can they get access to messaging apps like Whatsapp or Signal but for communities that aren't a company won't that work out. They can't just make end-to-end encryption ilegal. If they stop Signal or Whatsapp feom end-to-end encrypting many people will go to services that do that and can't be controlled by governments.
Exactly. When it's criminal to have privacy, only criminals will have privacy. And privacy is security.
I'm so sick technological illiterate law makers.
