Cameron threat to block WhatsApp and Snapchat in battle against terror: PM says fanatics should not be able to use encrypted messaging
‘Messaging services such as WhatsApp and Snapchat could be blocked after David Cameron promised to ramp up internet surveillance powers to prevent terrorists from plotting atrocities online.
In a challenge to critics of the so-called snoopers’ charter, he said fanatics should not be able to talk to each other without security agencies listening in.
Making an electoral campaign speech in Nottingham yesterday, Mr Cameron indicated he would revive monitoring legislation – blocked by the Liberal Democrats – if he secures a majority in May.’
