They've actually had a law requiring you to decrypt on demand since 2007:

Nothing like that in the US at all. So, further down the path. France and Germany want similar laws.

And other countries are joining in the call:

Thanks for the pointers. I knew about the UK but I believe it is an exception in Europe rather than the rule, as of now. Of course I agree with you that probably most countries will try to get there, unfortunately. Then again, I can only read stuff written in my own language or English so I don't have the full view.
