Tell Mark Zuckerberg to STAND UP to dangerous government overreach.
John,
What if all your Facebook and WhatsApp messages were leaked and posted on the Internet for everyone to see?
Currently, these messaging services are protected by end-to-end encryption, but the US, UK and Australian governments are pressuring Facebook into breaking the encryption that keeps our messages safe.1Why? So they can spy on your private conversations.
Experts agree that strong security measures like end-to-end encryption make us all safer.2 After all, we use encryption to secure everything from our personal bank account information to air traffic control patterns and even nuclear power plants.
When we create a backdoor to let governments into these systems, we give bad actors an opportunity to access these systems as well. In the past, hackers have exploited government backdoors to commit fraud and threaten public safety.3 So why does the government want to make the same mistake again?
End-to-end encryption is literally one of the only good things Facebook has done to protect its users. And behind closed doors, Facebook leadership has prepared for clashes with law enforcement agencies over privacy and security issues.4But now we need the social media giant to make a public commitment to protecting us from dangerous government overreach.
