As end-to-end encrypted messages can only be read by the sender or recipient, critics suggest this means companies would need to scan messages before they are encrypted so called client-side scanning. This, they say, fundamentally undermines the privacy and security of encrypted messaging. Signal and WhatsApp had previously said they wouldn’t comply, and Apple also opposed the plans. The UK government is set to change a plan to get tech firms to scan encrypted messages for child abuse images. In an amendment to be discussed on Wednesday, the government now wants a report to be written before the powers are used by the regulator.
