"Black" discrepancy " infects law enforcement and intelligence Association more and more with any day," - said Amy Hess The Wall Street Journal. Because these firms, like Apple, Facebook and others, have introduced end — to — end encryption in place of messages, government agencies-especially the FBI-complained that terrorists and other attackers were able to produce business outside the study.

Hess once said in front of Congress on this issue in 2016, the year when Apple fought with the FBI and Department of justice inquiries about a backdoor code in the iPhone shooter San Bernardino Sayed Rizwan Farooq. Apple, usually compatible with the police and the NSA, said that it is impossible to force it to make a fresh code, and in fact that it will significantly weaken the security of iOS. The DoJ case eventually went bad when it turned to an outside service that successfully hacked the iPhone 5c Farook.

To some extent, due to the conflict with Farook critics are skeptical about the danger of "plunging into the darkness", suggesting that in fact there are often candidates intercept these services as iMessage and WhatsApp. Apple and its supporters say that encryption is fundamentally not only for joint privacy, but also for the defense of people from hackers and global surveillance, especially in countries where the favorites have every chance to put in jail or kill dissidents. 

Magazine that, in fact, last week Apple and a meeting of trade groups, NGOs and other technology firms suggested comments contrary to the Australian law adopted in December, which strongly asks the business to assist the government to gain access to encrypted messages. The consideration is that the law itself is very unclear and has the ability to be applied to requests for weakened encryption not only in Australia but also in every country on the "5 eye" network — Australia, Canada, Fresh Zealand, England and the United States. These States periodically cooperate on intelligence tasks, and not so long ago the network said that "confidentiality is not considered absolute", followed by the statement that it will seek to gain access to encrypted information through legislation.

British intelligence Agency GCHQ including not so long ago proposed to add government agents as tacit members of the mass chat, which, according to the texts of the enemies, has the ability to be including more terrible than the weakened encryption, because it has the ability to be quite quickly turned into a General supervision or use by hackers.
