“The most difficult communication between these terrorists is via PlayStation 4,” the minister said, three days before the terrorist attacks in Paris. “It’s very, very difficult for our services — not only Belgian services but international services — to decrypt the communication that is done via PlayStation 4.”

Ok.

It’s unclear if the suspects in the attacks used PlayStation as a means of communication.

Wait . . . wat?

Looks like the move to get government's the elusive encryption keys is well under way. Never say that government is too lazy to use a tragedy to increase the surveilance state.

I assume that by "It’s unclear if the suspects in the attacks used PlayStation as a means of communication", they mean "There is absolutely no reason to think they did anything of the sort".

Obviously Microsoft made donations to that guy so that'd he'd single out PS4 as the terrorist machine.

Anything to justify giving the cops encryption keys.

Never mind that in practice that also means giving them to the black hats.
