>       The Australian government has proposed a new cybersecurity law
>       to force global technology companies such as Facebook and
>       Google to help police by unscrambling encrypted messages sent
>       by suspected extremists and other criminals.  Prime Minister
>       Malcolm Turnbull said on Friday the law would be modeled on
>       Britain's Investigatory Powers Act, which was passed by the
>       British Parliament in November and gave intelligence agencies
>       some of the most extensive surveillance powers in the western
>       world.
