specifically. If you take skype as an example though it uses a
256bit key but it wouldn't be considered insecure. Key length
alone doesn't make the ciphertext secure if your cipher is weak.
If you used a 2048bit key with a substitution cipher it would
not take long to figure out.

<div style="">All I was pointing out was that people would start
developing stronger encryption methods for comms as companies
are forced by governments to work on breaking them, or, as
governments themselves are known to be able to crack those
comms. Also as I said thats not different from today's world
but with laws like this going through or trying to be passed
in more countries it becomes more public and noticeable the
developments around comms encryption as people have an
interest in protecting their privacy.</div>

<div dir="ltr">All that would happen would be an
arms race in encryption/decryption technologies.
As one is able to be cracked so another will rise
to replace it. Thats not really different than
today though but it may just be more apparent.

<div>Also people are becoming more aware in
general about their security and protecting
themselves better. Guberments are starting
to realize they are losing the ability to
monitor their citizens where necessary by law,
(It doesn't help that these same guberments
abused the laws in the first place though) and
are starting to look at ways to get that control
back.</div>

The encryption stuff as noted in the
article (surely it's wrong?) is both
insane and impossible, for all practical
purposes - not to mention highly
undesirable.<br>
