Theresa May wants to ban cryptography https://boingboing.net/2017/06/04/theresa-may-king-canute.html
I'd rather ban Theresa May
@Gargron it's scaring me how far she's able to get with stuff like this. If she stays in power than IL probably seriously question how viable it will be to live in the UK as a developer.
I don't want to be arrested, fined or called a terrorist sympathiser for keeping my users safe.
@twistedLucidity @DatTux I mean, look, we both know that the proposal is stupid, impossible, and would only hurt Britain. Does that sound familiar? I wouldn't rely on May.
@twistedLucidity @Gargron oh yeah, no doubt it's impossible to impose but I worry shell use it as clout against services she doesn't like.
@Gargron @DatTux it's more "sounds good to the ears" dross from the Maybot to appease the unthinking knuckle-draggers (i.e. Sun and Daily Mail readers).
It won't happen because it can't happen. no encryption; no online shopping or banking etc, no financial trading, no e-government, etc etc etc.
This is a pretty good video on the subject, please share it.
