It's good news to get so many criminals off the streets and credit where it's due but if this is all just setting the stage for a wider assault on personal privacy by banning encrypted communication I won't support it.
Having government and spy agencies able to monitor all communication is like something out of China, its essentially digital/virtual totalitarianism and not only that but most aspects of life are being pushed into the digital world and towards it so there'll be no escaping it.
I'm sure most people in China would be critical of the social credit system and techno tyranny if they weren't absolutely **** scared of all of the monitoring taking place and being digitally gulagged by authorities, it's not worth living in that sort of world just to catch a few criminals every now and then who will probably be released after a few years anyway.
