Broken record disclaimer: e2e encryption isn’t bad, and doesn’t make public safety worse. We have studies, a lot more since Snowden even that prove such encryption doesn’t make us safer or worse off. https://t.co/t3chcElhUg

The People: “Facebook must respect our privacy!”

Mark Zuckerberg: “Yeah, OK, here’s end-to-end encryption across all of our apps."
Attorney General Bill Barr: “Facebook must not be too private!”
Zuckerberg: ?https://t.co/cz2EKSmtOV
Since when was any/ most governments around the world really concerned with user privacy lol. They are literally asking for a backdoor into people's private communications. For all Facebook's faults, I'm glad they are siding with the right to privacy here @webhat https://t.co/P5Ke7k5N53

We were able to see a draft open letter from Bill Barr (and officials in the UK and Oz) to Mark Zuckerberg asking for Facebook to halt the roll out of e2e encryption across its apps. This may get ugly. https://t.co/xBJnnNIARw

Besides the FBI snooping stuff, slowing Facebook down on integrating Instagram/Messenger/WhatsApp is helpful for a potential breakup. https://t.co/BPrJOGqwXy

I do not want your encryption backdoors
— Eva (@evacide) October 3, 2019
I do not want them in a box
I do not want them with a fox
I do not want them here or there
I do not want them anywhere
This is definitely important but (I’ve seen this idea floating around) it’s not “literally apple v fbi” part 2. Apple v fbi involved actual legal orders compelling Cupertino to write new code that Apple had to oppose in court. this looks like just an open letter. https://t.co/bL97iz42X4

Disgraced Trump administration Attorney General William Barr and his counterparts in the British and Australian governments plan to push Facebook for an encryption backdoor for WhatsApp and other messaging platforms (perhaps Instagram's new Threads?). https://t.co/8fn5wLx1Tc

The government is demanding backdoor access to the private communications of 1.5 billion people using #WhatsApp. If @Facebook agrees, it may be the largest overnight violation of privacy in history. https://t.co/qkxO1pJuUh

Whatever embargo there may have been around this story is now fairly comprehensively blown: #e2ee - the US Government wants a #whatsapp #backdoor and the UK and AU want it too...https://t.co/lrfsp3BjIO pic.twitter.com/R6wiwdZVjc

The U.S. is joining the U.K. and Australia in asking Facebook to stop using end-to-end encryption, a move that would make content on the site accessible to law enforcement. https://t.co/6aBg4OCwvy

USA, UK and Australia want to stop the further rollout of end-to-end encryption citing “user safety”. We’ve seen it before and will see it again. Do they try to exploit the general tech/FB skepticism? https://t.co/rB4YgaY4qi

"Barr is set to press Facebook on Friday to create a so-called back door to its end-to-end encryption..which would give investigators access to now-secret communications, including from..criminals as well as whistle-blowers, journalists and others."https://t.co/3b18RS0kCK
