“Now, the majority of internet traffic is encrypted and publically [sic] available mobile device apps offer end-to-end encryption as standard. Whilst this means enhanced privacy for the users, the use of encryption is impacting on law enforcement’s ability to collect intelligence and evidence.”
- Europol: Joint Declaration of the European Police Chiefs (Online Safety)
“We are, therefore, deeply concerned that end to end encryption is being rolled out in a way that will undermine both of these capabilities. Companies will not be able to respond effectively to a lawful authority. Nor will they be able to identify or report illegal activity on their platforms. As a result, we will simply not be able to keep the public safe.”
- The Guardian: Mark Zuckerberg says White House ‘pressured’ Facebook to censor Covid–19 content
