Goodbye to Whatsapp and Snapchat... According to David Cameron!!

In light of the recent Terrorist attacks in Paris, Cameron and his team have decided that the best way that they can try and crack down on terrorist attacks in the U.K. is by tracking such behaviour online.

This means a ban of apps such as Whatsapp and Snapchat which are encrypted, so our intelligence agencies cannot track any terrorist behaviour, so therefore a prime place for the terrorist groups to converse perhaps?

I agree that something needs to be done as recently terrorist attacks have been in the spotlight with the recent events in both Paris and Austrailia; it is starting to get worrying, and makes me feel like somethign bigger is to come, and plus you never know, but someone I know could be victim and fatally affected and by this, or even I could be myself.

However, the terrorists are only a small proportion of the population, and it seems rather unfair to the million of others users of these apps, who use them legally, for fun, to communicate with friends/families/colleagues, to have to give them up. Some have even said it would interfere with our freedom of speech.

I don't have a solution or another option that Cameron could do to try and solve this issue, however, I just know that banning these things will have consequences; The U.K. and the world in general is increasingly becoming more technology and online focused, and to try and take that away shows that he does not embrace that, which is bad and rather worrying.
