Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.

Well, it's not just our Government who want to be able to circumvent end to end encryption in order to be able to detect paedophiles, terrorists etc.

A number of other companies have joined Whattsapp in saying they don't want this to happen amidst privacy concerns.

Privacy is important and as jaymoss said earlier, Governments often use emotive subjects to obtain greater powers.

On the other hand, it's perfectly reasonable that law enforcement and anti terrorist agencies will want to be able to detect and circumvent some of the most terrible acts in society.

It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out.

Those who enjoy being unpleasent to or bullying disabled people online will probably view this as a comedy programme, but I think decent right thinking people will be appalled if they wach Channel 4 at 10pm tomorrow evening.
