I think we've all heard about the recent FBI vs. Apple story, but here's a more recent development that makes things a bit more interesting:

I think it's brilliant, WhatsApp has been made better for people who want to discuss sensitive topics and with more and more business being handled over it it makes logical sense to me.
If you take your marker and connect this dot to that one, that one to this one here you will get a really annoyed dalmatian.

Re: The encryption debate
I dunno, I've been trying to use Tor but it gives problems with so many sites I find it too frustrating to use. Isn't something like HTTPS Everywhere good enough when it comes to day-to-day browsing?

Re: The encryption debate
Considering how much of a technophile I am, I'm probably too laissez faire with internet privacy and security. That's not to say that I go looking for trouble, of course.
