No Place to Hide drive funded by Home Office to warn
Social Media firms over dangers of end-to-end encryption
A government-backed campaign has stepped up the pressure on plans by Mark Zuckerberg’s
Facebook Messenger and
Instagram apps to introduce end-to-end encryption, warning that millions of cases of child sex abuse could go undetected.
The new campaign warns that social media companies are “willingly blindfolding” themselves to abuse if they implement end-to-end encryption for private messaging.
