The campaign claims that implementing End-to-End encryption may make detecting child molesters harder
A new campaign backed by the UK government appeals to tech giants like Google and Meta, to stop the implementation of End-to-End encryption in their messaging services until they make sure they have found ways to protect children from abuse . E2EE encrypts the sent messages, making them readable only by the sender and the receiver. Not even the app creators or law enforcement can read these messages.
A report from March 2021 shared with the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children shows that from October 2019 to September 2020, there were over 9,470 child abuse cases in England, Wales, Scotland, and the Channel Islands, and 52% of these attempts took place on Facebook-owned apps.
The"proactive detection technology" that Facebook currently uses. This technology will search for suspicious activity and take action against suspected accounts. For example, if someone creates several accounts or sends messages to a large number of unknown users, Facebook will detect and ban these accounts or persons.
Experts say that it is probably impossible to offer truly secure encryption and at the same time to scan for messages containing child abuse content.
