UK intelligence recycles “think of the children” argument for borking encryption
It&#x27;s funny, no one in the UK cares about real actual privacy, yet we&#x27;re obsessed about the &quot;dangers&quot; of tracking cookies.<p>I don&#x27;t know how true this is outside the UK, but here people are generally happy for the government to monitor their internet and mobile communications, they&#x27;re happy for supermarkets to use facial recognition cameras to identify them at checkout, they&#x27;re happy for CCTV to monitor their every move, but if Google tracks your search results, that&#x27;s going too far.<p>Even on the topic of encryption, most people don&#x27;t really care as long as it&#x27;s not Facebook or Google reading their messages. If you&#x27;re any other business or the government, then go on ahead... Collect our biometric data, read our emails, track our movements. No need for consent.
