Facebook rejects calls for police 'backdoor' to encrypted messages
2019-12-11 11:26:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Facebook has rejected a call from the US, UK and Australia governments to create a 'backdoor' in its messaging apps so law enforcement officials can access encrypted messages. The company said this "would be a gift to criminals, hackers and repressive regimes", as it was impossible to create access for one purpose and not expect others to try to exploit the weakened security.
