British Prime Minister David Cameron is the person responsible for the title. It was the UK PM who demands for Backdoor in Encrypted message applications.
In an Election campaign, Cameron stated that if re-elected, he will ban encrypted messaging apps like whatsapp, snapchat, etc if they didn't provide a backdoor for government into the conversations of their customers.
He stated that this demand of him was due to the recent attack by terrorists on Charlie Hebdo magazine in France.
He insists encrypted messaging applications to provide a backdoor to Government so that it will be easy for the Government to prevent such disasters from happening or to trace the culprits.
But he also assured that such inspection into someone's messages will require personally signed order from home secretary.
Applications like Whatsapp didn't respond to this statement by Cameron. Looks more like they will stick to their privacy policies.
This is not the first time such backdoor to encrypted message applications is coming to news.
According to documents released by Edward Snowden, NSA has backlinks to applications like Skype. This issue rocked USA for a long time and is still under debate whether such monitoring is ethical or not.
Now also there are mixed reactions for this statement from David Cameron.
Some people oppose this idea saying that it is a threat to privacy of common people.
Some people support it because it puts National interest first.
