Clicking A Link = Hacking - Proposal by Obama

[microphone head]

What? So Cameron wants to make using encryption illegal? So if I was in the UK, it would be illegal for me to send a PGP e-mail?

Send a PGP encrypted e-mail containing sensitive server passwords to a client, and in return, have a SWAT team raid me. That sounds fun.

Why don't these people think, before they come up with such retarded ideas. Do you have any idea how much that would weaken online operations nationwide? It's like opening the door, and rolling out the red carpet to Russian and Chinese hackers -- "yes, please come on in and fuck with our systems and sensitive data. everything is now in plain text for you guys, so feel free to help yourself".

As absurd as it sounds, I kid you not - he actually proposed that!

It really does demonstrate just how completely incompetent & ludicrous our politicians are. Can you possibly imagine any foreign business setting up shop in the Uk if that were to happen? "No sir, you may not use a VPN to securely connect your offices." "Secure online payment processing? Not on my watch young man!"

iPhones & Blackberrys banned (do visitors leave theirs at the airport?)
Yeah - much as I'd like to say I made it up and it's a joke, it sadly not.

May as well just switch off the internet in the UK and tell everyone to move to N.Korea!
