  6. UK gov is attempting to pass laws (today I think) to *ban end to end encryption*. Which is fucking insane. Petition: https://t.co/ARApA6fdyd

    Petition: Government to abandon all ideas of trying to ban strong encryption.

    Strong encryption is used every day by citizens, businesses, the government, even this very web site. Encryption exists, and like trying to ban multiplication, it is pointless to try to stop it. A ban, or forcing back doors, can only harm law abiding citizens and have no impact on criminals.
