Facebook can become a platform for child pornography. Christopher Ray, director of the US Central Intelligence Agency (FBI), warned. The encryption that Facebook has proposed to include around their popular messaging platform will turn it into a state of paralysis associated with online bullying and child pornography. Ray spoke at a gathering of child protection officers and law enforcement members in Washington on Friday.
The former U.S. Justice Department official said no US or any of their representatives had created such a place without rules. The owner of a large company created this place.
Facebook plans to add encryption to their platform's communications. This year, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg talked about adding encryption to secure the messaging platform.
The United States is pushing to undermine digital security systems in order to transmit the message of billions of people around the world. Ray's statement would put added pressure on Facebook.
Ray said, “Organizations can open a path for law enforcement around encryption. Otherwise, we will lose the ability to find children who need protection. The path of finding the mischief will also be lost. '
At the rally, U.S. Deputy Attorney General Jeff Rosen questioned Apple's encryption technology.
The debate over encryption technology has been going on for 25 years. However, concerns have been raised by law enforcement officials as technology companies began to use automated encryption methods to exchange messages. Earlier, in the wake of terrorist activities, officials campaigned against encryption. However, in the words of IS and extremist groups, they are seeking legal benefits of accessing the device, arguing that abuses cannot be stopped anymore.
