Thanks Aftab for the plug - this is something that IA has been tracking and meeting in Canberra with various Minister-types down over the past 6-9 months, trying to determine what they were looking to do, and educate them on the concerns. This is data retention all over again. On one hand, as an ISP, if you don't actually supply end-user devices and all the OTT messaging apps pass through your network, there may not be much in this to concern. This Bill is aimed at Samsung/Google/HTC/Oppo, and OTT service providers like Apple iMessage, WhatsApp, Google Hangouts, etc. They were quite insistent they would not be seeking to back-door encryption, and as it happens, they were right! They just want to back-door the entire device. And website, which is classed in there too.
