Sen Cotton slams WhatsApp for turning on encryption

Sen Tom Cotton (R-AR) is slamming messaging platform WhatsApp for turning on end-to-end encryption for all of its users. “The WhatsApp and Facebook decision to add end-to-end encryption to all of WhatsApp’s services with no secure method to comply with valid search warrants continues a dangerous trend in the tech and data world,” he said. “We cannot allow companies to purposefully design applications that make it impossible to comply with court orders. I strongly urge WhatsApp and Facebook to reevaluate their decision before they help facilitate another terrorist attack.”
