Britain is rolling out its new Online Safety bill, an update from the Online Harms White Paper released in December 2020, discouraging companies like Facebook from using end-to-end encryption. Priti Patel, UK’s Home Secretary, has been notably against end-to-end encryption for years and is planning to deliver a keynote speech at an April 19th child protection charity’s event focused on exposing the dangers of end-to-end encryption. Richard Blech of XSOC CORP offers perspective.
Today, @NSPCC and 100+ children’s charities worldwide have joined my call in urging Facebook to halt plans for end-to-end encryption until they can provide guarantees on child protection. https://t.co/up1UPFhRXT
