Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg is on a collision course with the UK government over continued plans to build super-secure messaging into all his apps despite a potential landmark law that could effectively outlaw the technology. Around the world, governments that also oppose the popular technology are watching the showdown closely to see who will blink first.
“End-to-end encryption”, “backdoors” and “client-side scanning” – the biggest row in technology sounds very complicated.
But really it comes down to a very simple question. Should technology companies be able to read people’s messages?
That is the crux of a row that has been brewing for years between Silicon Valley and the governments of at least a dozen countries around the world.
WhatsApp, iMessage, Android Messages and Signal all use the super-secure system called end-to-end encryption.
