Set to be signed next month:
Social media platforms based in the U.S. including Facebook and WhatsApp will be forced to share users’ encrypted messages with British police under a new treaty between the two countries.
@c1t1z3n0n3 have any links to this?
How is this even possible when people like Apple can't even decrypt what people are saying? 🤔🔗
@Wetrix
they will be force to build a back door if the treaty is signed.

@c1t1z3n0n3 you can't build backdoors for some things though. Even apple can't decrypt what their users say.
@Wetrix
right now they cannot, but if the law requires it they will roll out an update that would allow it.
@c1t1z3n0n3 yeah that's not going to happen anytime soon. That would set off the encryption wars all over again.
@Wetrix
I am guessing you have not seen the over 400 gag orders sent out in the last 2 years with accompanying National Security Letters. if the law is signed the users wouldnt know until a FOIL request was actully responded to with truthful information.
