The charity has also asked for AI to be deployed in the front line against CSAM by probing private content on people's devices. Andy Burrows, head of child safety online policy for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) in the UK, told the Beeb that direct messaging is the "front line" of child sexual abuse. Some children's rights groups have been vehement that the need to protect children from exploitation should not be compromised by the argument for absolute privacy in communications. The UK is still trying really hard to be the 'safest place to be online in the world' UK children's charity: Social media firms rubbish at stopping grooming.Won't somebody please think of the children!!! UK to mount fresh assault on end-to-end encryption in Facebook.The European Union in May also proposed legislation that puts much of the responsibility for ferreting out and exposing such material on providers. "We have not identified any techniques that are likely to provide as accurate detection of child sexual abuse material as scanning of content, and whilst the privacy considerations that this type of technology raises must not be disregarded, we have presented arguments that suggest that it should be possible to deploy in configurations that mitigate many of the more serious privacy concerns," Levy and Robinson wrote. UK officials have been pushing for such government freedoms to filter, with Ian Levy, technical director of the UK National Cyber Security Center, and Crispin Robinson, technical director for cryptanalysis at British spy agency GCHQ, recently writing a research paper arguing for automated scanners that manage to protect the privacy of individuals.
At issue is whether law enforcement agencies should be allowed to dip into the encrypted communications of billions of individuals to hunt down the Four Horsemen of the Infocalypse: terrorists, drug dealers, CSAM, and organized crime, and whoever else comes along. Messenger services like WhatsApp and others have been at the center of a years-long debate around encryption and public safety.
