I read that article but I'm failing to see how it relates to our conversation? We've always had biometric data on both criminal suspects and also state employees and contractors. There doesn't seem to be anything here on explicitly fighting private encryption?
It's the section "Access to electronic evidence" and the talk of encryption there, with delegates pressing "lawful access by design". They aren't dreaming of lawful access to encrypted byte streams and when there's a backdoor for lawful access today, it's available for different laws tomorrow. They do seem like they are on the same page on this, which isn't surprising since it was floated onto the G7 agenda from wherever globalist policy originates from.
That would literally mean after the acquisition of a search warrant in America, which are generally not easy to get; so I'm still not terribly worried about it. The US isn't the EU.
I'm too cynical. I hope to once again share some faith in the system again. All the best!
