“David Cameron‘s proposals to end online encryption have been dismissed as ‘infeasible’ by the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology. In a report titled ‘The Darknet and Online Anonymity’, the office argues that outlawing anonymity networks such as Tor may create more problems that it would solve. The new dossier states that the network plays only a ‘minor role’ in the distribution and viewing of indecent images of children. The importance of Tor for whistleblower organisations was also highlighted by the parliamentary office. The report also downplays the threat posed by online drug markets like Silk Road, claiming that they shorten the supply chain from producers to consumers.”
