Animal rights activist hit with RIPA key decrypt demand

"An animal rights activist has been ordered to hand over her encryption keys to the authorities. Section Three of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA) came into force at the start in October 2007, seven years after the original legislation passed through parliament. Intended primarily to deal with terror suspects, it allows police to demand encryption keys or provide a clear text transcript of encrypted text."

There's a difference between stopping terrorism and being nosey. Who didn't know this would be abused?
