>New Zealand’s Telecommunications (Interception Capability and Security) Act was introduced in 2013.
>On receipt of a warrant from a surveillance agency, a network operator – defined as a public telecommunications network or a telecommunications service – must “decrypt a telecommunication” on their network or service, but only if it has “provided that encryption”.
Sadly, that same world leader is the strongest anti encryption and censorship advocate.
You do realize this is the same country which made it punishable by up to 10 years' prison to have a specific terrorist's manifesto on your computer?
Denmark has been illegally requiring all telcos to monitor everything for years, and nothing has changed. No one is willing to change anything or impose any consequence for it. It's even gotten people falsely imprisoned due to complete reliance on location data from mobile phones.
Sweden is not much better, and just passed legislation allowing law enforcement to hack people's phones.
I'm almost certain that Norway, Finland and Iceland are no better.
