        @Snowden Luckily it's not illegal for open-source developpers to offer unbreakable encryption

        @Snowden So pointless. Bad guys will just install software for end-to-end encryption, while good people will suffer from exposed devices.

        @SirWumpus @Snowden Better idea: All the good guys install end to end encryption software, government goes home and cries.

        @Charwhick @Snowden That will be the long and short of it for tech savvy users, but the older generations will likely be a risk.

        @Snowden So much for freedom of the press, and of speech. We are all guilty until proven innocent now. :(

        @Snowden I hope @whispersystems will make their apps available outside of Google Play if they're banned on the UK version.

        @Snowden If Govt bans strong encryption then that also applies to them (unless of course they are tyrants) Related:http://www.politics.co.uk/blogs/2014/04/10/how-the-government-allows-itself-to-break-the-law …

        @Snowden They may want to ban strong encryption but if the companies aren't located in the UK they surely have no legal recourse to force it
