Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has warned security agencies that they are losing touch with terrorists and criminals who are using more advanced and encrypted means of communication
In response to advancing encrypted communication, Dutton has called for services such as whatsapp and Wickr to had over message exchanges when asked or the likelihood of terrorist apprehensions will decreases dramatically
However, criticism of this stance has been voiced by Silicon Valleys mega companies as the suggestions the Home Affairs minister made would mean the apps would require either breaking their security measures or create backdoors into their own system in order to comply with his requests which would breach user privacy.
