It’s been a confusing week for those of us trying to understand what the UK Government is doing with its plans to break end-to-end encryption. This article by @jim and I tried to make sense of the omnishambles https://www.openrightsgroup.org/blog/omnishambles-over-encrypted-messages-continues/ #spyclause #e2ee #onlinesafetybill #privacy #encryption

So an update from the debate in the House of Lords on the encryption busting #spyclause in the #onlinesafetybill. Labour withdrew their amendment that would have provided judicial oversight after the Government said they would not accept it. Lord Moylan withdrew his amendment that protected E2EE. Lib Dems force a division on their idea for ICO oversight but that fell 70 votes for and 178 against. #privacy #encryption

As we look towards April, we're planning to take our campaign to stop the spy clause in the #OnlineSafetyBill directly to the UK Parliament. We need your help to raise awareness of the danger posed to our privacy.

Please donate to tell lawmakers: Don't Scan Me!

The #OnlineSafetyBill vastly increases surveillance of British people without any judicial or administrative oversight. It'll institute a de facto 'general monitoring' and proactive scanning. This means all users' posts, public and private, every day, all the time. #spyclause #surveillance #privacy

There's plenty to unpick about the #OnlineSafetyBill but the #spyclause poses a real danger to our chats with family, friends, colleagues, doctors etc. Scanning tech on private messaging is a sledgehammer that'll fracture our privacy and security.
