Red Hats will be over joyed to make excuses for Daddy Trump and government wanting to ban encryption..
Let's hear the excuses of why it's ok now that the govt can violate your privacy. Not to mention how unsecure that would make everything that needs encryption to be secured.
I'm sure all those white nationalists chatting on whatsapp will will support this...

Australia is now the first Western nation to ban security, following a decision by its parliament to pass a bill forcing companies to hand over encrypted data to police upon demand. The government will be allowed to demand this without judicial review or oversight of any kind, beyond the requirement to get a warrant in the first place. Furthermore, the law requires corporations to build tools to give them the ability to intercept data sought by police when such tools do not already exist.

BUT.. Its gets even better ;) and the sneaky Aussies on behalf of the Kiwis have slipped it in. Many right-wing groups were recently listed here as terrorist organisations. Keep that in mind

"Australian leader Scott Morrison secures G20 deal to block violent terrorism on Facebook and social media"

"G20 puts pressure on the companies to act immediately when contacted by authorities to remove terrorist content such as the live video of an attack or other violent posts that seek to spread terror or recruit followers."
