Encryption keeps us all secure. It protects us from cyber-criminals, keeps our messages private, and stops governments and corporations from spying on us.
Whether your iCloud back-ups or messages on WhatsApp, people from all walks of life rely on encryption daily. From medical professionals, victims of domestic violence, and trade unionists to teachers, businesses, and parents.
We all need to keep our data and communications secure. This is the power of encryption.
Yet the UK Government is at war on encryption:
- Criticising tech companies for providing encrypted communication services.
- Adding a 'spy clause' into the Online Safety Bill to require end-to-end encryption services to scan everyone's messages.
- Using 'technical capability notices' and the Investigatory Powers Act to direct services to remove encryption.
It doesn't have to be this way. Please back our petition to keep us all secure online. Let's tell the UK Government to stop its 'war on encryption'.
