Social media platforms based in the U.S. including Facebook and
WhatsApp will be forced to share users’ encrypted messages with
British police under a new treaty between the two countries, according
to a person familiar with the matter.
The accord, which is set to be signed by next month, will compel
social media firms to share information to support investigations
Priti Patel, the U.K.’s home secretary, has previously warned that
Facebook’s plan to enable users to send end-to-end encrypted messages
would benefit criminals, and called on social media firms to develop
“back doors” to give intelligence agencies access to their messaging
platforms.
