@andypiper I made a local pirate party representative a bit happy with the phrase "encryption should be a human right".

Because encryption should be a human right. The right to keep secrets, if you will.

There is in no way you can guarantee me that backdoors into encryption is a good idea. They can be broken and then everyone gets compromised.

Pedophiles and terrorists won't use it anyways, whereas law abiding political organisations, journalists, political dissidents, all come under threat.

@hopland @andypiper hopefully we can grab a bit of the politicians bank accounts as our first act as without uncomprimised encryption we'll have bank data quite easily.

@justin @andypiper Yee olde "transparency for me, but not for thee" - or the "I'm so important I get those priveliges".

It should be obvious why politicians should not have access to all people's data, but also that the politicians are the ones who shouldn't have anything to hide.
