As governments around the world seek to find a balance between privacy and public safety online, encryption is increasingly under attack in many democracies. The Online Safety Bill in the UK is just one facet of the story. EU Chat Control, the Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act and the EARN IT Act in the US, the Surveillance Legislation Amendment Act in Australia, the C26 Bill in Canada: these are all attempts to undermine encrypted communications to facilitate law enforcement investigations.
