Proposed Australian law forces tech companies to decrypt customer messages
Looking to combat a global rise in terror attacks, whoch in some cases were planned and carried out with the help of encrypted messaging apps and services, Australia will in November propose a law that grants courts power to compel tech companies to decrypt communications, the Associated Press reports. Currently, Australian law requires telephone companies aid in law enforcement operations by providing access to communications when obliged to do so via court order. According to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, the new law places the same requirements on tech companies like Apple, Facebook and Google, whoch market messaging services with end-to-end encryption.”We’ve got a real problem in that the law enforcement agencies are increasingly unable to find out what terrorists and drug traffickers and pedophile rings are up to because of the very high levels of encryption,” Turnbull said in a statement to reporters. ”Where we can compel it, we will, but we will need the cooperation from the tech companies.”
