Russian bill requires encryption backdoors in all messenger apps
http://www.dailydot.com/politics/encryption-backdoor-russia-fsb/
Backdoors into encrypted communications may soon be mandatory
in Russia. A new bill in the Russian Duma, the country's
lower legislative house, proposes to make cryptographic
backdoors mandatory in all messaging apps in the country so
the Federal Security Service--the successor to the KGB--can
obtain special access to all communications within the
country.
