Incisive oped from former head of cyber security at GCHQ, calling the mass surveillance provision in the UK's Online Safety Bill "a hugely controversial power that damages Britain’s reputation for online security."
Couldn't agree more.

The UK government claims that message scanning won't put privacy at risk, but evidence from cyber-security experts contradicts this view.
This open letter from 80 experts and groups disproves claims made by Suella Braverman (Home Secretary).

Open letter to the UK government from over 80 national and international civil society organisations, academics and cyberexperts raising concerns about the serious threat to the security of private and encrypted messaging posed by the Online Safety Bill.
I've said this before, but...
#Encryption is #math .
There is no math that "the good guys" can do but which "the bad guys" cannot do.
"Responsible encryption" and "lawful access" are #lies designed to get you to give up your #privacy willingly.
#Refuse to do this. #Demand end-to-end encryption in *everything*.
Let’s not kid ourselves. The “think of the children” argument is a smokescreen. What the government really wants (and the Labour party is complicit) is for the security services and the police to have complete and total access to all of our communications whenever it suits them. All of us. You’d think we’d have learned something after #Snowden. It’s not our “job” as citizens to make the work of the authorities easier by giving up our own #Privacy.
