Is the United Kingdom really “The Safest Place in the World”? Probably not, if you require requests for government secrets to access your private information. Escape Washington Post In January, the UK government revealed that the secret application of Apple has revealed the activity of the research competencies (AKA SNOOPERS ‘greater) to break the end encryption (E2EE) and access to all citizens of the UK to all Apple Iclouct dates.
The UK is famous for “backdoor”. It is arguing about online privacy and excessive debate on government, and this demand is a variable threat to the safety of users around the world. For online artists, for artists who have given the ability to communicate, organize and share, this can be a call to wake up; For these UK, it should be alarm.
E2E’s anti-fighting technology sector has made politicians and policies, such as access to such data law enforcement law with critical information about illegal activity activities. But access to the private user data has important risks that are expanded beyond the use supposed to be involved and extends beyond limits. E2E encrypts the data used in applications such as WhatsApp and banking system, only the parties can decipher only communication, as well as blocking the provider from access. This privacy allows for endangered communities: such as dissident, activists and artists, censorship and work, without becoming the goals of censorship, during limits.
A background in the UK would assume that this encryption is broken, explaining user data and creating a dangerous background. “You can’t protect a” backdoor “side” Good Gays “,” Mark Scott, a member of the resident, the Atlantic Democracy + Technical initiative of the Atlantic Council, Art diary. “Inevitably, this access will exploit less democratic forces.” Tech companies have historically stripes against the backward line, threatening threats to eliminate previous encrypted messages.
Threat to dissent artists
Activists, journalists and everyday users trusted worldwide, the E2EE is a critical tool to protect the free expression; The UN emphasizes the universal expression of human rights. With the help of Article and “the right to search, receive and deliver information”. Scott says “Encrypted communication is a life that allows people to express without government, trying to access these data on behalf of national security”.
“National Security” is often used, very remote invasive policies, and the United Kingdom is no exception. The UK online security law was extensive in the world’s first online regulation legislation, intending to protect citizens from damage. But human and digital rights communities have seen these measures, especially when the quick proposals and excess proposals threaten the freedom of expression and privacy on behalf of protection or fight against terrorism. Between potential damage, such policies can easily provide target partisans without considering their intentions.
Carolina is, researcher at the Center for the Center of the Center at the University of the University of the University of the University of the University of the University of the University of the University. Art diary: “I’m trying to organize protests because you’re trying to arrange the protests, especially when they want to be a rhythm, especially if the government wants to use this, it can be made by any government, although anyone can be repressive.”
According to Washington PostThe secret demand for Apple in the UK was extensive, regardless of the location that provided an encrypted ICLOUT data for any UK. At best, such a request would apply; In the worst, it would effectively break the world.
He resisted his commitment to E2, instead of removing advanced data protection in the UK (ADP), including the government’s storage data, including photos, documents and voice memos. This concession has not yet been known whether the UK will find extensive requirements, even if the UK government may require other companies or other encrypted information.
While the UK government may have this time, it is a threat to freedom of expression and privacy when we have our backyard. In the words, they are: “It’s a terrifying step.”
