'"Tech companies like Facebook have a responsibility to balance privacy with the safety of the public," Ms Patel said in the open letter, which was also signed by the US Attorney General William P Barr, Acting US Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan and the Australian minister for Home Affairs Peter Dutton.'
How are you going to ask companies like Facebook to give you faster access to information across international borders and still say 'Hey you should have some privacy too'. It just seems blatantly dystopian. This is part of a growing trend of governments that want back doors to social media in the name of security and justice: Australia, the USA, and now the UK. That being said HN, how do you propose governments deal with online criminal activity? A lot of people here will criticise this and while that criticism is justified I just wonder if there's an alternative solution to this problem.
