Lurking in the UK Online Safety Act is the spy clause that could make encrypted message apps scan our private chats.

This would shatter our right to privacy and create vulnerabilites that anyone could exploit.

That's why we launched #PracticeSafeText ⬇️

Message scanning powers are sleeping on the statute book. They must never get activated.

The UK government has already tried to make Apple put a backdoor in its encrypted services. It's clear they want to recklessly dismantle our cybersecurity protections.

Powers in the UK Online Safety Act to introduce message scanning technology is far from an online safety measure. It's a gift to predators and stalkers❗

Forcing a backdoor into encrypted systems so everything we send can be scanned makes us vulnerable to anybody who wants to exploit that weakness.

Practice Safe Text for Global Encryption Day 🔒

Messaging apps we use to chat, share and plan shield us from scams, stalking and sextortion.

But the UK Online Safety Act contains a time bomb that lets the government break encryption for surveillance.
