journalist, anyone who has a reason for that level of privacy but everybody. nobody wants people reading the messages. what the tech company say is there is no tech solution, they either break the encryption and weaken privacy for everyone or they remain unable to view the messages which is of course not what the government is going to incest if it thinks it s necessary. 7 incest if it thinks it s necessary. ? can you talk us through some of the measures to really start dealing with this issue? either the encryption is broken and they built a back door which means they can access these messages that they need to, once there is a back door, there is a back door and it s only a matter of time before someone else finds it. it will not only be the good guys who are using it. that could leave the entire platform exposed to malicious use once it is discovered. the other option is something called client side scanning, putting software onto a
sort of technical back door into end to end encrypted apps. a way for police to gain access to messages if they suspect criminal activity. another solution is something called client side scanning. pictures and videos are scanned by an app while on the sender s device to check the content against a database of illegal material, for example, child abuse material. client side scanning was famously suggested by apple on its devices to combat the spread and storage of child abuse material. but the idea was dropped after a huge backlash from privacy campaigners worried about the misuse of potentially invasive technology by criminals or even oppressive governments. in spite of the concerns, more and more companies are turning to the tech, saying it s crucial to protect customer data. and one thing that is true, but never really talked about by the technology companies is that end to end encryption takes away a big chunk of the thorny and costly
