Rejected petition Allow citizens to use end to end encryption to protect their data and privacy.

Stop attacking end to end encryption and trying to introduce back doors to cloud services. Repeal the investigatory powers act.

More details

There is no such thing as a safe back door that only “good guys” can use. Removing access to encrypted messaging, backup and storage services puts citizens at risk of fraud and abuse from criminals, large corporations and governments worldwide, not just in the UK. Your drive to ban end to end encryption makes people all over the world unsafe. You will also make national security weaker, not stronger as your adversaries will be able to access citizens and government data more easily.
