Message scanning powers are sleeping on the statute book. They must never get activated.

The UK government has already tried to make Apple put a backdoor in its encrypted services. It's clear they want to recklessly dismantle our cybersecurity protections.

Powers in the UK Online Safety Act to introduce message scanning technology is far from an online safety measure. It's a gift to predators and stalkers❗

Forcing a backdoor into encrypted systems so everything we send can be scanned makes us vulnerable to anybody who wants to exploit that weakness.

Encryption scrambles what we send on messaging apps.

Only the person you’re talking to can make sense of it. That’s your chats, pics and deets for their eyes only.

This is how we protect kids, parents and people experiencing domestic abuse from those who want to use your private life against you.

Messaging apps we use to chat, share and plan shield us from scams, stalking and sextortion.

But the UK Online Safety Act contains a time bomb that lets the government break encryption for surveillance.
