There’s been an increasing call in recent weeks and months for encryption to have government ‘backdoors’ put into them. This is a bad idea. No really, it’s an incredibly bad idea. Even if we took the assumption that it is a push that’s made with only the purest of intentions, and the government universal key is kept 100% safe and secure and never leaked or misused, it’s still a really, unbelievably, stupid idea.

    Lol I feel frustrated that this has to be said at all. Isn’t it obvious that a back door of any kind is basically a flare gun inviting hackers to gain access? Politicians are so silly
