WEBCAST MAR 21 – Encryption Under Threat: The UK’s Backdoor Mandate and Its Impact on Online Safety
On Friday 21 March 2025, at 13:00 UTC, the Internet Society Online Safety Special Interest Group (Online Safety SIG ) hosts a webinar ‘Encryption Under Threat: The UK’s Backdoor Mandate and Its Impact on Online Safety‘.
The UK government’s recent demand for Apple to create a backdoor in its end-to-end encrypted cloud services raises alarming concerns for online safety, privacy, and cybersecurity. This panel discussion will explore the global implications of this move, particularly how it could set a dangerous precedent for weakening encryption and jeopardizing online safety for individuals, businesses, and civil society.
