The battle over end-to-end encryption

April 20, 2022 Leave a Comment

The BBC article, “The battle over end-to-end encryption, is news to understand recent push by the UK and other agencies against Facebook Messenger. While I was reading this article, it also came to my attention that, WhatsApp, iMessage, or Signal protects user data with end-to-end encryption. However, the fact Facebook has not introduced this control for its messenger application becomes treat for young users to be victims of online predators.

In today’s digital world, I believe it’s important that our chatting apps protect our data with encryption methods where it scrambles data and makes it unreadable. Certain websites also use encryption connections between you and the website. The padlock sign on the browser represents the encryption and something you might need to check while browsing on the web. Especially, for confidential communication or banking websites, it’s even more crucial to make sure criminals cannot read your data while it travels over the internet.

Also, a good highlight comes from US National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, where they announced 21.7 million reports were made in the US in 2020 about child sexual abuse material being exchanged on social media.
