And in Europe backdoors; France and Germany are asking the EU for new powers that could force mobile service makers 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, the iMessage Apple's, and Telegram, provide end-to-end encrypted messaging that prevents any kind of spying.
Many others 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 has asked the European Commission to draft a new law obliging 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 traced and used during the judicial procedures", he added.
Cazeneuve's "initiative" is similar to US and British efforts to establish backdoors in encryption that could be used by governments and law enforcement agencies, effectively undermining the protection of millions of Internet users.
This practice (backdoors) has been criticized by privacy and security experts, who argue that there is no feasible way to "safely" backdoor cuts which can guarantee that hackers will not be able to take advantage of the same access.
