Also includes the usual BS about breaking encryption in the name of 
national security, aka the war on maths.

"However encrypted messaging applications are also used by criminals and 
terrorists - at the moment much of this traffic is difficult for our 
security agencies to decrypt, and indeed for our Five Eyes partners as 
well.

Most of the major platforms of this kind are based in the United States 
where a strong libertarian tradition resists Government access to private 
communications as the FBI found when Apple would not help unlock the 
iPhone of the dead San Bernardino terrorist.

The privacy of a terrorist can never be more important than public safety. 
Never."
