Whatsapp Could Be BANNED Any Moment From Now by Nobody: 12:56pm On Jul 11, 2015 |
Enjoy WhatsApp while you still can. Britons could see the hugely popular cross- platform app BANNED under strict new laws on social media and online messaging services. Prime Minister David Cameron is pressing ahead with new legislation that plans to stop people from sending any form of encrypted messages. A number of popular messaging services – including WhatsApp , iMessage and Snapchat – currently scramble communications between their users. If the controversial new legislation is passed in the coming weeks all three services could be outlawed in the United Kingdom. “In our country, do we want to allow a means of communication between people which we cannot read?” said Prime Minister Cameron earlier this year. "My answer to that question is: 'No, we must not’.” The news comes weeks after WhatsApp was named one of the worst apps for user privacy . David Cameron has spoken out against encrypted messaging services, like WhatsApp. Private online communications will be opened-up by the Government's "Snooper's Charter" – or the Investigatory Powers Bill could be passed this Autumn. The recent spate of terrorist attacks – including the shooting of 30 Britons on a beach in Tunisia – has prompted the Conservative Government to act fast. British police currently make a request to access personal metadata – texts, emails, phone calls and internet searches – once every two minutes in the UK, according to data from campign group Big Brother Watch. "We have always been able, on the authority of the Home Secretary, to sign a warrant and intercept a phone call, a mobile phone call or other media communications," Mr Cameron added. A slew of popular messaging services could be at risk, thanks to encryption of users' data. www.express.co.uk/life-style/science-technology/590061/WhatsApp-UK-Ban-Weeks-Snoopers-Charter |
