Je Suis Charlie Adopted By UK, French Governments For Increased Surveillance

Je Suis Charlie might be all about freedom of speech—even though critics claim the protest is simply to allow anti-Muslim views, but still shun any abhorrent views on Jewish and Christians—however it has also allowed the UK and French governments more control over the internet systems we use daily.
The UK government has used the ‘Je Suis Charlie’ banner to call for more surveillance on messaging platforms like WhatsApp, iMessage and Facebook Messenger, under the banner of freedom of speech, the government looks to filter out any “hateful” content that may be pro-terrorism.
Even though this is fundamentally flawed since reading private messages is taking away freedom of speech and privacy, it is also a way for the UK government to get around the awkward encryption services WhatsApp, iMessage and Facebook Messenger use to stop government snooping.
With all of the discussion in the UK on how best to police radicals, the Conservatives—who are notorious for their lack of critical understand of internet structure—are pushing to have the police be able to pass through these encryption tools.
In a clear misjudgement, the UK government also believes by passing a law through government, these U.S. based companies will simply hand over the keys to UK authorities, when in reality Facebook, Microsoft and Apple are more likely to not hand over anything, or simply leave the country.
What the government have got right is nobody in the UK seems to care, the apathy towards having every private message read and stored by the government should be far more scary than the threat some radical Muslims pose to the West, but yet there is no march against the government on these radical plans to police the internet.
In France, the government has pursued new laws to effectively stalk Muslim and other “terrorist” groups, without a large degree of any terrorist-evidence. The law was passed without any of these “freedom of speech advocates” speaking up, sadly.
The Je Suis Charlie tragedy might be appalling for most, but for governments in Europe it is merely a ladder, allowing them access to more surveillance under the “anti-terrorism” acts established throughout two decades.
The major failure of the European people is not how to better close their borders—which seems to be the prerogative of almost every European country—but that surveillance groups have been able to seize control over most of the internet, without any real consequences.
