Aussie Attorney General's War On Encrypted Web Services
Bismillah writes "If Attorney-General Brandis gets his way in the process of revising Australia's Telecommunications Interception Act, users and providers of VPNs and other encrypted services will by law be required to decrypt government intercepted data. Because, 'sophisticated criminals and terrorists.' New Zealand already has a similar law, the Telecommunications Interception and Computer Security Act. Apparently, large Internet service providers such as Microsoft and Facebook won't be exempt from the TICSA and must facilitate interception of traffic."
You mean, like, say, end to end encryption?

We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
Above is the whooshiest whoosh ever to have wooshed.
