End-to-end encryption would make Facebook a honeypot and a superplatform for paedophiles, according to one official at the National Crime Agency (NCA).
Rob Jones, director of threat leadership at NCA, criticised the social network for its plans to introduce the security standard to both Facebook Messenger and Instagram, which Facebook also owns.
End-to-end encryption ensures only the two participants of a chat stream can read messages, and no one in between – not even the company that owns the service.
Jones called end-to-end encryption – which is already used on Facebook-owned WhatsApp – a high-risk experiment and a disaster for child safety and law enforcement .
A controversial plan by Facebook to make billions of online messages secret could prevent police from uncovering deadly terror plots in Britain, a top counter-terrorism officer has warned.
Facebook s boss Mark Zuckerberg says end-to-end encryption across his company s messaging services will boost privacy, but Detective Chief Superintendent Kevin Southworth, head of Britain s squad of anti-terrorist cyber police, said the move would unequivocally put lives at risk .
The Metropolitan Police officer told The Mail on Sunday: For such a strong form of encryption to be placed around so much private communication worldwide automatically makes the police and other law enforcement agencies jobs more difficult.
