I would expect such an accord between countries to enable data sharing, not force companies to record more data. So I'm sceptical of the article's claim for now.

#14Curious what this means for other end-to-end encrypted services such as iMessage.
I'm equally curious what this means for Signal and any other open-source encrypted services. In the US, ITAR could hypothetically be used to make open-sourcing of cryptographic algorithms illegal. This technique is used for robotics software that could be dual-purposed for weapons guidance.

#17> Social media platforms based in the U.S. including Facebook and WhatsApp will be forced to share users’ encrypted messages with British police under a new treaty between the two countries, according to a person familiar with the matter.
This sounds as if the platforms are already sharing with the US authorities. So this being about them sharing it now with UK authorities.
