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.
