According to a Freedom House report, the UK, Vietnam, Thailand, Russia, Hungary, and China have implemented or passed some laws that require individuals and companies to break the encryption whenever they are requested by the government. 

In 2017, Australia pushed the Five Eyes countries to adopt methods that would allow the breaching of secure systems by breaking encryption.…

In 2015, the UK Prime Minister David Cameron proposed that the encryption technology should be banned. This came after the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris.

Countries such as Russia, Saudi Arabia, and UAE already legal mandates for retention of data and forced decryption by technology companies.

And of course, the Trump Administration is now threatening the same thing. It's a dumb idea.

It's also dumb to suggest, as some have begun doing, that the internet is a "human right." It's not. Claiming it is just lulls people into thinking it can't be taken away from them. It can.

This is worth paying attention to.

OK, chocolate isn't very bad. It's mostly good.
