I am not certain about this move in particular, but there has also been
something similar going on in the EU for a while now.  Some of the
countries are not in agreement that encryption should be "opened" to law
enforcement because introducing that opening would provide hackers/etc. a
backdoor for exploit.

Supposedly the EU wants the ability on the grounds of child safety.

Someone living in the EU may be able to explain it a little better, but
that is my understanding of it.

And, yes, I also hope there are significant forces that can counter such
moves.
