This would help the government in the fight against terrorism, in the search for dangerous criminals, missing persons and other investigations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Such big companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Microsoft and Apple have opposed the adoption of such a law. Companies argue that the law violates the rights of users. Apple representatives said that the law will paralyze the activities of transnational corporations, since different countries have contradictory legislation in this area. Apple also believes that such tactics will not help the \u00a0Government in \u00a0its fight against terrorism, \u00a0because criminals will find other ways to encrypt information. \u00a0Thus are endangered ordinary citizens, whose data are disclosed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The \u00a0Government received the arguments of Apple, but so far they \u00a0do not comment on them. In turn, they argue that such measures would provide \u00a0new and effective conditions for \u00a0web surveillance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Many human rights activists also sharply criticized the new British law. According to them, it violates civil rights and freedoms, as well as some of its provisions are vague and ambiguous.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Source: www.bloomberg.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":17660,"menu_order":0,"template":"","newscat":[9],"newstag":[],"issues":[],"class_list":["post-17668","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newscat-novosti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/17668","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17660"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17668"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"newscat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newscat?post=17668"},{"taxonomy":"newstag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newstag?post=17668"},{"taxonomy":"issues","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issues?post=17668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
