I can't access the article right now. But I'm fairly certain that a couple of stupid deputies who don't understand anything about technology/cryptology want to introduce a law against it and everyone is going ape shit "Hungary want to criminalize the use of encrypted services".

The same thing happens in France from time to time.

That's not stupid. That's chaotic evil, almost by definition: "let's just float this thing again and again, see if we can get away with it. If not, just pretend we didn't see it coming and retry sometime later. Repeat until law passes."

The proposition to mandate backdoor is http://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/14/amendements/3318/CION_L... . It was supported by Mme Kosciusko-Morizet, M. Martin-Lalande, M. Cinieri, Mme Duby-Muller, M. Sermier, Mme Rohfritsch, M. Straumann, M. Abad, M. Salen, M. Morel-A-L'Huissier, M. Ginesy, M. Mathis, M. Degallaix, M. Hetzel, Mme Grosskost, Mme Lacroute, Mme Genevard et M. Saddier.

NKM is not ignorant in technology. IMHO, she is evil.
