Facebook’s push for end-to-end encryption is good news for user privacy, as well as terrorists and paedophiles
Roberto Musotto and David S. Wall explain end-to-end encryption, but point out that it isn’t foolproof, in this crossposting from The Conversation.

The tech giant started experimenting with this earlier this year. Soon, end-to-end encryption will be standard for every Facebook message.
But Australian, British and United States governments and law makers aren’t happy about it. They fear it will make it impossible to recover criminal conversations from Facebook’s platforms, thus offering impunity to offenders.
Facebook’s initiative places the company in a complicated situation, as increased user privacy, while positive, could come with potential impunity for offenders.
I also think front doors should be banned so we can see inside pedos’ homes.
