    Ok.. so she doesnt NEED to know how encryption works.. but this kind of phrase, get my GDS-sense à tingling..
    “I don’t need to understand how encryption works to understand how it’s helping – end-to-end encryption – the criminals. I will engage with the security services to find the best way to combat that.”

    Define ‘criminals’.. other than “anyone I decide I don’t like..”

    Then this bombshell at the end..

    “Later today the Home Secretary is expected to announced that people who repeatedly view terrorist content online could face up to 15 years in jail.

    Ok,so it sound like a good idea.. but wxho decides what is considered Terrorist Material… This is only 2 steps away from Thought Crime..
    What they should be doing.. is as soon as someone access’ ‘terrorist’ materiel, a big pop up window should appear saying that their IP address has just been sent to the local police force and their browser history will also be sent..just watch those hardcore wannabe terrorists s**t their pants in terror at the idea of being publicly shamed.. no reason to throw them in prison for 15 years with hardened rapists, killers, thieves and terrorists..
