Member nations of the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing alliance—which includes the United States— along with Japan and India published a

“End-to-end encryption”—used by the likes of Apple and Facebook—scrambles messages by encrypting it on a sender’s device, which is then sent over the network in an unreadable format, before the message is finally decoded by the recipient’s device.

For those who don't want to read the article, the nations are: U.S., U.K., Australia, Canada, New Zealand, India and Japan.

Mostly they use encryption like RSA or other creating backdoor is like creating separate protocol to enter in systen which can be easily exploited by hacker. To work these system correctly they have to integrate these with that algorithm they used to encrypt data.

😂😂and these are who acusing China for violate user's privacy....hypercrits

Yeah, no.

How in the hell could this lead to anywhere but disaster?

Sounds illegal.. or at least should be and if it’s not it just be flat out more dangerous and easier for hackers to access if they did that.

Meanwhile whatsapp be like I will be a pro here
