Petition Action

Stop the UK Online Safety Bill.

Petition Details

Force social media and software companies to open source their encryption software could lead to increased transparency and trust, as well as greater collaboration between the private and public sectors on issues of online safety.

Additional Information

Applications that support end-to-end encryption messaging, must build backdoors in order to read messages from either sender or recipient without consent, which is a worrying development for civil liberties in the UK.

With cyber attacks becoming ever-more frequent and sophisticated, the reliance of UK citizens and businesses on end-to-end encryption to keep themselves safe and secure has never been greater.
