In 2018, Australia passed the Assistance and Access Act, which—among other things—gave the government the power to force companies to break their own encryption.

What country is encryption-friendly, with a commitment to it?

Seems like a great way to attract businesses today.

I mean first rule of any company I’ve worked for is encrypted at rest, and even our dialup in the 90’s used encryption via SecureID (well, verification anyway, since dialup is Point-to-point).

And business traffic in transit is encrypted today - including on our own networks.
