MODERATORS
Not because they care about the government. Because they care about hackers.
Creating encryption backdoors for the government means creating encryption backdoors for hackers. Because once encryption is weakened, it’s weakened.
Again, they aren’t going to break the encryption that corporations use, because the laws they pass are ghost written by corporations. Multinationals aren’t going to abandon their own security and dramatically increase their risk because some UK oligarchs go off the deep end.
They will only break the encryption that the proles use, because this is only about increasing control, power, data mining, and profits.
