And in Europe backdoors? THE France and Germany are asking the EU for new powers that could force mobile service providers to give access to encrypted content.
The two Member States of the European Union, following the terrorist attacks they have received from ISIS, seem to seek easy access to the messages of criminals and suspects for terrorism.
Many mobile messaging providers, such as WhatsApp, Apple's iMessage, and Telegram, provide end-to-end encrypted messages that does not allow any kind of spying.
Many other websites and services - including Facebook - have adopted strong encryption to ensure that no one can access their members' messages.
Reuters reported on Tuesday that French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve had asked the European Commission to draft a new law that would oblige Companies to deliver the data.
"It is a central issue in the fight against terrorism," Cazeneuve told reporters last week.
"Exchanges made through applications such as Telegram must be identified and used during litigation," he added.
Cazeneuve's "initiative" is similar to efforts by the US and Britain to remove "backdoors" in encryption that governments and law enforcement agencies can use, effectively undermining the protection millions of internet users.
This practice (backdoors) has been criticized by privacy and security experts, who argue that there is no way to "secure" backdoors that can guarantee that hackers will not be able to take advantage of the same access.
