Every Country is Attacking Encryption (Here's How We Fight Back)

End-to-end encryption
End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is a secure communication system where messages can only be seen by the sender and receiver.
Technology companies currently use encryption positively to keep your bank transactions and online purchases safe and secure. Encryption has many other uses throughout everyday life, but some social media companies such as Meta are proposing to implement
or already have implemented E2EE in private messaging spaces.
E2EE overrides current controls in place that help to keep children safe and potentially poses a huge risk.
E2EE and child safety
At the moment, social media companies scan their platforms to find and report child sexual abuse material (such as images, videos, and grooming conversations) to The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). NCMEC pass these referrals
to the relevant law enforcement agencies, so that abusers are arrested, and children are protected.
The implementation of E2EE, without robust child safety measures in place, poses a catastrophic risk to the safety of children online, social media companies will no longer be able to find and report child sexual abuse material in the same way.
Intentionally implementing E2EE without necessary safety features will blind social media companies to the child sexual abuse material that is being repeatedly shared on their platforms. More child sexual abuse content will go unreported and unchecked
and that will put more children in greater danger.
The UK government supports strong encryption. We are not asking companies to stop the implementation of E2EE across their messaging services. We are instead urging all social media companies to implement sufficient child safety measures on their
messaging platforms that will maintain and/or enhance the identification and prevention of child sexual abuse.
