REPHRAIN have issued a press statement, amplifying an open letter from the broader community, calling on the UK Parliament to consider independent scientific evaluation before voting through the Online Safety Bill, specifically regarding concerns around privacy and End-to-End Encryption (E2EE).

This statement reiterates the findings of our report into end-to-end encryption, where the technology assessed was not fit as a solution – this report is available to read here.

REPHRAIN remains committed to tackling online child sexual abuse and exploitation and encourages the UK parliament to take the scientific evidence in this report into account.
