Amber Rudd has been out doing the media rounds this morning talking about the issues end-to-end encryption poses to law enforcement. One comment in particular caught our eye:
“Real people often prefer ease of use and a multitude of features to perfect, unbreakable security. Who uses WhatsApp because it is end-to-end encrypted, rather than because it is an incredibly user-friendly and cheap way of staying in touch with friends and family?”
