It seems the whole thing has always been a moving target, and nothing new at all. It's very push n pull. Minor victories in favour of encryption here, minor victories against it over there, and by creating a movement an anti-movement inevitably and automatically emerges. It is a cyber war after all. We're all winning and losing these battles.

It's obvious that banning encryption is futile. I think the real argument is *who's* encryption are they trying to ban and who's right to encrypt is under threat at any given time. It's blatant that they are referring to our cryptographic tools...as in the general public's. Not theirs. Imagine if militaries stopped using encryption, or governments, or intelligence agencies. Actually, don't - No point in doing that because it will never happen. It would be too dangerous - They just mean our encryption...the end user(s).

It's simply another power grab.
