Why the tech industry needs to stand firm on preserving end-to-end encryption

This piece argues that the UK’s push to mandate access to end-to-end encrypted data is unenforceable and counterproductive, using Apple’s withdrawal of Advanced Data Protection for UK users and WhatsApp’s support as examples; it explains how easy regional workarounds and impractical border enforcement would fail to deter criminals while burdening lawful users, and concludes by endorsing strong encryption with court-warranted access and robust oversight, aligning with ESET’s stance.
