The Australian government (eSafety Commissioner) is already demanding that companies implement encryption backdoors and mandatory proactive scanning for anything potentially "illegal". Source

I don't think people realize just how bad things are in Australia right now for anyone who cares about privacy and security online.

Its also interesting that r/Australia always calls out their governments anti-privacy bullshit, while non Australians on this subreddits are sometimes supportive of articles like these.

I don’t really see where your source specifically demands that they implement encryption backdoors. Of course that would be one way to implement what they seek.
