End-to-end encryption
End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is a secure communication system where
messages can only be seen by the sender and receiver.
Technology companies currently use encryption positively to keep your
bank transactions and online purchases safe and secure. Encryption has
many other uses throughout everyday life, but some social media
companies such as Meta are proposing to implement or already have
implemented E2EE in private messaging spaces.
E2EE overrides current controls in place that help to keep children
safe and potentially poses a huge risk. E2EE and child safety
At the moment, social media companies scan their platforms to find and
report child sexual abuse material (such as images, videos, and
grooming conversations) to The National Center for Missing and
Exploited Children (NCMEC). NCMEC pass these referrals to the relevant
law enforcement agencies, so that abusers are arrested, and children
are protected.
The implementation of E2EE, without robust child safety measures in
place, poses a catastrophic risk to the safety of children online,
social media companies will no longer be able to find and report child
sexual abuse material in the same way.
Intentionally implementing E2EE without necessary safety features will
blind social media companies to the child sexual abuse material that
is being repeatedly shared on their platforms. More child sexual abuse content will go unreported and unchecked and that will put more
children in greater danger.
The UK government supports strong encryption. We are not asking
companies to stop the implementation of E2EE across their messaging
services. We are instead urging all social media companies to
implement sufficient child safety measures on their messaging
platforms that will maintain and/or enhance the identification and
prevention of child sexual abuse.
