Exclusive Laws in the UK and Europe have been proposed that would give authorities the power to undermine strong end-to-end encryption in the pursuit of, in their minds, justice.If adopted, these rules would – according to a top British computer security expert – authorize the reading and analysis of people's previously private communication for the sake of potentially preventing the spread of child sex abuse material and terrorism communications."The proposed EU Child Sexual Abuse Regulation is a draft law which is supposed to help tackle the spread of child sexual abuse material," said the European Digital Rights Initiative (EDRi), in response to Johansson's proposal.Citing the 102,842 reports from National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), the US-based non-profit coordinating child abuse reports from tech firms, to the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA), he estimates that this led to 750 prosecutions for indecent images, "well under 3 percent of the 2019 total of 27,233 prosecutions for indecent image offences, of which 26,124 involved images of children."- Tories spar over UK's delayed Online Safety Bill - Tech world may face huge fines if it doesn't scrub CSAM from encrypted chats - Europe proposes tackling child abuse by killing privacy, strong encryption With 5 percent false positives, Anderson suggests each of Europe's 1.6 million police officers would have 625 alarms about potential harms to deal with daily – not exactly a practical scenario."
