Whatsapp says so too. Do you honestly think it will happen? They'll plant backdoor for government and continue as before.

Eirikr70 exactly. And, to be clear, I'm talking about the Bleeping Computer article and the British government using vulnerability scanners. As long as they're upfront and provide the source IP addresses of their scanners, that stuff can be filtered out; it looks like they also provide an opt-out process, too.
The backdoors and mandatory breaking of encryption are something that people should very much care about and protest.

This is the same nonsense that Apple tried to pull, and there was a big stink.
I think they went ahead and are doing it anyway.
