Top tech firms avoid encryption issue in government talks
Leading tech firms have promised to work closely with the government to remove extremist material from the internet and social media following a meeting with the home secretary, Amber Rudd. However, while senior executives from Facebook, Twitter, Google and Microsoft pledged to “to tackle this vital issue”, a joint statement from the companies after the meeting made no mention of dealing with encrypted messages.
I believe that privacy is an important thing to have in the 21st century but also believe that these tech firms should allow for some cooperation with Governments over issues such as the London terror attacks. And their unwillingness to cooperate or to give information starts to make them look like the villain.
