EU Seeks Mandatory End-to-End Encrypted Communications
The EU wants messaging systems – including apps such as Facebook Messenger, Telegram and WhatsApp – to have mandatory end-to-end encryption, and to prohibit any attempt by governments to create backdoors in such messaging systems.
Those proposals are part of a number of changes being put forward to update a 2002 EU electronic privacy directive, transforming it into a regulation that would take effect at the same time as the EU General Data Protection Regulation in May 2018.
