   As the #OnlineSafetyAct becomes law in the #UK without critical legal safeguards to end-to-end encryption, the internet as we know it faces a very real threat: https://proton.me/blog/online-safety-act

   The Act could give the UK government the power to access, collect, and read anyone’s private conversations at any time. The UK Government has previously admitted that the proposals are "technically unfeasible," and we hope @Ofcom
   keeps this front of mind during the implementation process. (1/2)

     European lawmakers also need to acknowledge this when considering similar legislation in the EU. It's not too late to stop #chatcontrol, and we encourage all of our EU-based users to contact their MEPs about this. (1/3)

     Proton will not comply with any measures to weaken encryption for our UK users. While no one objects to increased online safety, we believe that it shouldn't come at the expense of the fundamental right to privacy. We don't believe that the majority of Proton's services will fall under the scope of the OSA; however, should we receive any requests under the Act to alter our encryption, we will be prepared to fight through legal means.
