@openrightsgroup At a recent #ProspectUnion conference, an #OFCOM employee presented about their #OnlineSafetyBill implementation plans.
When I asked them about the effect on services that use #e2ee, e.g. WhatsApp as reported in @TheGuardian, they claimed that operators were:
- clearly aware of their duties under the Bill
- only being required to submit a "risk assessment"
- creating FUD by asking for more clarity about #e2ee
I wasn't convinced TBH.
It's #HeartUnions week so this is a good time to say -
join a union!
If you're in scientific, engineering, or technical jobs in the UK, then Prospect is a great union to join! They've been there for me when things weren't great.
At some point, #EnoughIsEnough.
Join a union.
