Australia’s anti-encryption bill forces companies to supply user’s communications data

I'm not sure what can be said that hasn't already been. If the (majority) people that don't value their privacy were put to the test knowingly, then they would change their minds quickly. For the rest: I would think that it would align with believers in an omniscient god — where they like the idea of the 'safety' of being watch to keep them on the 'right path' .

I haven't read the text of the bill — just the article. If it requires there to be a warrant to comply with a request based on solid proof that they have a reason to look into the data for a crime (and the judges don't rubber stamp) then that is fine, but if it gives carte blanche to unilaterally scrape data from anyone's traffic then it is very scary.

Freedom is only worth something as long as you use it.

EU's Article 13 and this are match made in hell.

If only cyber criminals weren't so greedy and kept a balance then there wouldn't be a huge push shit like this.
