UK Gov want to manage your security
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Our Government want to police all end-to-end encryption, the very thing that helps maintain the security of all websites, email, and data transmitted digitally.

Of course, like most things proposed by our super UK Government, it is highly unlikely to work, but more importantly would place all security with our Police.  How trusting are you of our Police force?

Many have commented from different countries around the world regarding this ridiculous proposal and also the potential misuse by the Police if implemented:
