WhatsApp asked to weaken its security in United Kingdom for message scanning

End-to-end encryption scrambles messages so even the company running the service cannot view the contents. WhatsApp is the most popular messaging platform in the United Kingdom, used by more than seven in 10 adults who are online, according to communication regulator Ofcom. WhatsApp says it would rather be blocked in the UK than undermine its encrypted-messaging system, if required to do so under the Online Safety Bill. The government, and prominent child-protection charities, have long argued encryption hinders efforts to combat the growing problem of online child abuse. What is your take ?
