Conservative = tech-illiterate ?
Why do especially conservative governments (my own German one fully included) tend to act completely incompetent and/or illiterate with regard to technology in gerneral and encryption in particular? At the same time the urge to observe everyone and everything seems to be very strong with his group. So they just wish something that is not attainable. Encryption technology today is the public domain. So everyone considering themselves a terrorist or even only a criminal is free to use it. Even banning it for the general population or major service providers will NOT change this. Regardless of what the 5 eye states or any other national government body feel about that. What a waste of energy ..
