Online Safety Bill
WhatsApp, Signal and other messaging services have signed a joint open letter criticizing the UK Government’s proposed Online Safety Bill (OSB) for posing risks to “everyone’s privacy and safety.” The letter signatories are concerned the requirement for monitoring these messaging platforms undermines end-to-end encryption. The OSB mandates that websites and apps must prevent harmful content in messaging services, and to do that, they would need to be able to scan all user content, which would "water down" encryption techniques. The concerns of the messaging companies are “completely valid” according to Paul Holland, CEO at Beyond Encryption. How do you feel about the OSB?
