International cops urge Meta not to implement secure encryption for all
readers know, End-to-end encryption theoretically makes it impossible for an intermediary to read the contents of messages - even if served with a subpoena the contents of an end-to-end encrypted message would be encoded.
"The announced implementation of E2EE on META platforms Instagram and Facebook is an example of a purposeful design choice that degrades safety systems and weakens the ability to keep child users safe," the VGT said.of David Wilson in the UK as one example it claimed wouldn't have been possible with E2EE in place. Wilson, a Facebook user who groomed hundreds of children using fake Facebook and Instagram profiles, was sentenced to 25 years in prison in 2021.
"The VGT calls for all industry partners to fully appreciate the impact of implementing system design decisions that result in blindfolding themselves to CSA occurring on their platforms, or reduces their capacity to identify CSA and keep children safe," the taskforce said.Meta disputed the VGT's claims that Wilson's arrest wouldn't have happened with E2EE in place, telling us it submits CSAM tips using both public and private information.
"We have developed detection systems using behavioral signals and other account activity that are not reliant on the content of private messages to identify malicious actors," Meta said, adding that"It's misleading and inaccurate to say that encryption would have prevented us from identifying and reporting accounts like David Wilson's to the authorities."
Without going into any details, Meta told us it's committed to continuing to work with law enforcement as it rolls out E2EE.
