According to an article in the National Post the Five Eyes intelligence network is demanding tech companies provide a backdoor into all their electronic devices.
“Canada joined its intelligence allies recently in demanding that technology companies co-operate with law enforcement agencies in allowing access to encrypted communications.”
Although similar requests for co-operation have been made in the past, that “is the most aggressive call we’ve seen,” said Tamir Israel, a lawyer at the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic.
The big change, according to Israel, is that governments are now saying “fix it for us or we will fix it for you.” That’s led to concerns among privacy experts that the government will try to legislate a requirement for tech companies to build backdoors for law enforcement.

Giving law enforcement access to electronic devices is a bad idea

No one cares about your fourth article rights, so the only defense you have against these intrusions is to leave the device on the store shelf.
If you buy ANY internet-connected device, you should expect to be spied upon.
“…you should expect to be spied upon.”
By the so-called ‘government’ who loves you SO much.
Idiots abound, JR.
