Brits have delivered a fairly unambiguous verdict on giving the government access to their encrypted messages: no, thanks.
英国人对政府访问其加密信息的权利给出了相当明确的回答：不，谢谢。
New polling commissioned by the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) found that 93 percent of British adults believe they have a right to private conversations online, while 89 percent think nobody should be able to access their personal messages without a court order.
由民主与技术中心（CDT）委托进行的最新民调发现，93%的英国成年人认为他们有权进行在线私人对话，而89%的人认为未经法院命令，任何人都不应能访问他们的个人消息。
Perhaps more awkwardly for Westminster, two-thirds said they would not trust either the current government or any future one with the power to access encrypted messages.
对威斯敏斯特来说可能更尴尬的是，三分之二的受访者表示，他们不信任现任政府或任何未来政府拥有访问加密信息的权力。

That distrust crosses political lines. Among people who voted in the 2024 general election, 58 percent of Labour voters said they wouldn't trust any government with the power, alongside 59 percent of Conservatives, 56 percent of Liberal Democrats, 69 percent of Greens and 75 percent of Reform voters.
这种不信任跨越了政治界限。在2024年大选中投票的人中，58%的工党选民表示不信任任何政府拥有此权力，保守党选民为59%，自由民主党为56%，绿党为69%，改革党选民为75%。

Public First did the asking, polling 2,000 British adults for CDT in April and weighting the results to reflect the wider population. The margin of error is 2.2 percentage points.
Public First负责调查，于4月为CDT对2000名英国成年人进行了民意调查，并对结果进行了加权以反映更广泛的人口。误差幅度为2.2个百分点。
The findings land as the UK government's appetite for slurping encrypted data continues to collide with the tech industry's insistence that encryption works best when nobody has a spare key lying around.
这些发现出炉之际，英国政府渴望获取加密数据的意愿继续与科技行业坚持认为，当没有人有多余的钥匙时，加密效果最佳的观点发生冲突。
That fight became particularly public when Apple withdrew Advanced Data Protection from UK users after receiving a secret Technical Capability Notice (TCN) under the Investigatory Powers Act. Apple challenged the order, and while the US government later said Britain had withdrawn its demand for access to Americans' encrypted data, reports have since suggested another TCN was issued focusing on British users.
这场斗争在苹果根据《调查权力法》收到秘密技术能力通知后撤回对英国用户的高级数据保护时变得尤为公开。苹果对该命令提出质疑，尽管美国政府后来表示英国已撤回获取美国人加密数据的要求，但据报道，另一份针对英国用户的技术能力通知已被发出。
Despite the international row, 55 percent of those polled hadn't heard about the Apple notice at all. Once presented with the idea, enthusiasm remained thin.
尽管存在国际争议，但55%的受访者完全未听说过苹果的通知。一旦提出这一概念，热情依然不高。
Just 12 percent backed the government being able to secretly order companies to provide access to users' information while preventing those companies from revealing the order. A third said the government shouldn't have that power at all, while another 41 percent wanted greater transparency or parliamentary oversight.
仅有12%的人支持政府能够秘密命令公司提供用户信息的访问权限，同时阻止这些公司透露该命令。三分之一的人表示政府根本不应拥有这种权力，而另有41%的人希望增加透明度或议会监督。
Nor were respondents particularly sold on sacrificing security for law enforcement. 53 percent said the security risks of accessing encrypted messages outweighed the benefits, compared with 28 percent who thought the benefits came out on top.
受访者也不太愿意为了执法而牺牲安全。53%的人认为访问加密信息的安全风险大于收益，而28%的人认为收益更胜一筹。
The reasons will sound familiar to anyone who has followed the encryption debate for more than five minutes. 84 percent worried that mechanisms allowing access to encrypted messages could introduce vulnerabilities for hackers and criminals, while 82 percent were concerned the powers could be abused.
对于任何关注加密辩论超过五分钟的人来说，这些原因听起来都很熟悉。84%的人担心允许访问加密信息的机制可能为黑客和犯罪分子引入漏洞，而82%的人担心这些权力可能被滥用。
Knowing someone might be watching could also change how people behave. 65 percent said they'd become more cautious about what they liked, shared or commented on, while 41 percent said they'd self-censor criticism of public institutions or government officials.
知道可能有人监视也可能改变人们的行为。65%的人表示他们会对自己喜欢、分享或评论的内容更加谨慎，而41%的人表示他们会自我审查对公共机构或政府官员的批评。

CDT is not a disinterested observer: the digital rights group campaigns for strong encryption and commissioned the research as part of that work. The polling itself, however, was carried out independently.
CDT并非无利益关系的观察者：这个数字权利组织倡导强加密，并委托进行这项研究作为其工作的一部分。然而，调查本身是独立进行的。
Commenting on the research, Jim Killock, executive director of Open Rights Group, said: “The British public instinctively know that being able to communicate privately is crucial to our individuality and to the survival of a free and open society.
开放权利集团执行董事吉姆·基洛克在评论这项研究时表示：“英国公众本能地知道，能够私下交流对我们个性以及自由开放社会的生存至关重要。”
“The government persists with the myth that it can weaken encryption to target the bad guys only. Attacks on the security of our phones, security tools and messaging apps harm us all and make our democracy weaker.”
“政府坚持认为可以削弱加密以仅针对坏人的神话。对我们手机、安全工具和消息应用安全的攻击伤害了我们所有人，并使我们的民主更加脆弱。”
None of this is likely to end Westminster's long-running pursuit of encrypted communications. But if ministers were hoping the public was enthusiastically behind them, the numbers suggest otherwise. ®
这一切都不太可能终结威斯敏斯特对加密通信的长期追求。但如果部长们曾希望公众热情支持他们，数字则表明并非如此。®
