The latest in government wishful thinking has dropped.

@SuellaBraverman takes to @Telegraph with claims about encryption that don't stack up.

There's a failure to grasp how the Online Safety Bill will harm privacy, despite repeated warnings from experts. openrightsgroup.org/press-releases… Experts have explained that any compromise of end-to-end encryption to detect CSAM can add 'backdoors'.

This will expose users to hackers accessing personal information and messages. It'll put the very people who the government claims to be protecting at risk. #OnlineSafetyBill

⚠️ The government has announced revisions to the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill. It appears that the revised version will be worse than the last, posing a greater threat to our privacy rights. Our response to today's announcement. #DPDIBill openrightsgroup.org/press-releases… "The UK has an opportunity to create a world-leading data protection law that puts people’s privacy rights at the fore, and aligns with our biggest markets.

🚨Twitter Passports are dangerous and impractical 🚨
Banning anonymity online will not solve the issue of abuse and will actually make people
less safe. THREAD (1/9)🧵 First, a massive amount of online abuse comes not from anonymous accounts but from those who are happy to spout hate in their own name. 99% of Twitter accounts suspended for racism during Euro 2020 were NOT anonymous. (2/9)
