Tech companies providing end-to-end encryption, including Apple, pushed for the changes, warning of mass government surveillance
Tech firms that provide end-to-end encrypted messaging services, including Apple and Signal, have pushed for a watering down of Australian rules compelling them detect child abuse and terror content.Tech firms that provide end-to-end encrypted messaging services, including Apple and Signal, have pushed for a watering down of Australian rules compelling them detect child abuse and terror content.
It did not specify how the companies would need to comply technically, but in an associated discussion paper, the office said it “does not advocate building in weaknesses or back doors to undermine privacy and security on end-to-end encrypted services”.it would not protect end-to-end encryption. Apple warned it would leave the communications of everyone who uses the services vulnerable to mass surveillance.
That includes instances where it would require the provider to “implement or build a systemic weakness or systemic vulnerability in to the service” and “in relation to an end-to-end encrypted service – implement or build a new decryption capability into the service, or render methods of encryption used in the service less effective”.
The real dystopian future, she said, would be one where “adults fail to protect children from vile forms of torture and sexual abuse, then allow their trauma to be freely shared with predators on a global scale”.Encrypted messaging company Signal this week complained to the European Union over similar proposal to force tech companies to do “upload moderation” to detect content being shared on encrypted communications prior to those communications being encrypted.
