🚨 Digital risk: Florida’s SB 868 is a wrecking ball aimed at encrypted communication 🔐💣 Oh, Florida. 🤦🏻‍♂️

This proposed legislation would:
📵 Ban disappearing messages
🛑 Force platforms to break end-to-end encryption
🔓 Grant unrestricted parental + law enforcement access to private DMs
⚠️ Override Florida’s own two-party consent laws

Why it matters:
• Any “backdoor” for law enforcement becomes a vulnerability for everyone
• Teens need encryption too — for safety, support, and crisis communication
• Existing investigative tools already allow lawful access when needed

This bill doesn’t protect children — it weakens the privacy and safety of every user. And if it passes in Florida, it could become a model for nationwide surveillance creep.

🛡️ Encryption protects all of us. Break it for some, and you break it for everyone.

Electronic Frontier Foundation · Florida’s Anti-Encryption Bill Is a Wrecking Ball to Privacy. There's Still Time to Stop It.We've seen plenty of bad tech bills in recent years, often cloaked in vague language about "online safety." But Florida’s SB 868 doesn’t even pretend to be subtle: the state wants a backdoor into encrypted platforms if minors use them, and for law enforcement to have easy access to your messages....

London Security Engineering Meetup: Alec Muffett “End to End Encryption: Why You Should Implement It” (May 08, 1800h)

Join us for the May edition of the London Security Engineering meetup at Wise’s London offices!

We are thrilled to host Alec Muffett, a distinguished technologist and security consultant with over 30 years of experience in cryptography and security.

https://www.meetup.com/london-security-engineering-group/events/307320393/

I’m going to try something a little more experimental with this presentation, aiming avoid slides and foster a little more audience discussion than the usual “slide deck and slick talk” typical of some meetups; given the nature of the audience my hope is for people who build systems and solutions to come away with a greater understanding of how to shape their code and solutions to build a product with a smaller attack surface and less risk.

If you have questions or issues that you would like to raise, please feel free to post a comment below.

Encryption is not a crime, encryption protects all of us. Encryption, and especially end-to-end encryption, is an essential tool to protect everyone online. Attempts to undermine encryption are an attack to our fundamental right to privacy and also an attack to our inherent right to security and safety.

Matt Blaze | Written testimony before the House Committee on Government Reform Subcommittee on Military and Foreign Affairs | April 2, 2025

Blaze nails the cost/(dis-)benefit analysis of drilling holes in everyone’s privacy, trust & integrity to satisfy a niche use case, although I feel he leaves too much wiggle room and risk open in conflating E2EE, Signal, and “off by default” surveillance of telecom switches:

Needless to say, court-authorized wiretaps are an important tool used by law enforcement to investigate crime. But telecommunications services are deeply integrated into the fabric of the digital lives of almost every American, the vast majority of whom will never be the subject of a criminal or national security investigation … Requiring new services to be engineered with wiretapping as a central requirement is dangerous, and requiring wiretap interfaces to be present in every switch serving every customer is effectively an open invitation to foreign adversaries. At a minimum, CALEA should be revised incorporate rigorous security testing, reviewed on an ongoing basis and as new services and equipment are introduced. And the capabilities should be required to be off by default, rather than enabled even in facilities where no wiretaps are active.

Abdelhakim Belhaj | Wikipedia | …the UK Gov’t have a history of dropping cases which compromise security

In … 2013, a high court judge struck out Belhadj’s case against the British government, on the grounds that if it were allowed to proceed it could potentially damage British national interests. At [a] Tribunal in January 2014, his lawyers said they had reason to suspect that GCHQ had been intercepting their phone calls with Libya-based Belhadj, and noted: “The right to confidential client-lawyer communication is a fundamental principle of justice.” This later turned out to be the case, and but one case of many.
