Peter Dutton pressures Facebook over encryption roll-out
Peter Dutton, Australia’s minister for home affairs, has joined global political efforts to pressure Facebook to water down its encryption advances across its messaging services.
Facebook is introducing end-to-end encryption across its messaging platforms – which includes Messenger, What’s App, Instagram, and now Threads – which would prevent anyone other than the sender and receiver from accessing the content. Dutton and a host of other politicians, however, claim the move will aid paedophiles, child sex traffickers and terrorists.
Dutton: Messages should not be encrypted
Facebook has been facing increased pressure in recent years to offer its users more privacy and guarantees around the safety of their data.
Was that a press pic his people are peddling?
My kink is giving Peter Dutton unfettered access to my conversations without needing authorised police raids.
This seems somewhat reasonable up until the government finds justification to collect this data with extrajudicial authorisation. Our government has also not proved itself very capable of containing private data when required to.
How gross is this guy
Facebook want to use encryption for greater privacy (and data) protection.
Dutton’s opposition to encryption clearly shows he doesn’t give a shit about privacy and personal data security. Apart from his own of course.
hahahah Governments trying to censor the internet, again
lol
