Australia has become the first western country to pass a bill forcing tech companies to hand over your encrypted data

PoliA: do you hear Tumblr s going clean? PoliB: good thing you sent that message on that wicker thingy. Yeah damn shame that. PoliA: I tell you what ...you pass that bill and I reckon that backdoor action will give us plenty of backdoor action if you know what I mean..wink wink. PoliB: this legislation has nothing to do with finding that Trump Russia hotel footage does it? PoliA: nooooo. I mean it would be nice to know we can compromise people like that PoliB: don't we already? PoliA: Yes but this will give us the amateur..I mean the evidence we need to hold people accountable on a wholesale level. I did hear there's a copy of that Trump video in Aus somewhere btw...it's proving bloody elusive.
