Indian panel wants encryption broken in fight against child porn
- Tuesday | 28th January, 2020
NEW DELHI (Reuters) – Indian enforcement agencies should be able to break end-to-end encryption to hunt down distributors of child pornography online, a parliamentary panel has urged as the south Asian nation looks to regulate social media. “It is a challenge to our collective conscience,” the panel said in the 21-page report reviewed by Reuters, referring to child pornography online. “If a company offers breaking such encryption for child porn, then it will be asked by all agencies,” an industry source who sought anonymity said of the panel recommendation. The panel also recommended mandating Internet service providers to “proactively” monitor, remove and report such content to the authorities. Online search websites should also block searches for child pornography sites, it added.
