    Last month the blame was being laid at instagram's door, nothing to do with P2P, and as a parent you should be questioning why your offspring has an app that encrypts communication.

    Is there only me that sees a touch of irony on it being launched on April 1st

    In principle I fully support the idea that it should be impossible for Under 18 to access the adult sites
    In practice this a a laughable attempt but the government can claim its done something I suppose

    One thing is for sure I won’t be trusting my details to the ”secure” register of porn users.

    I’m more concerned that this is stage one of a plan to control what we can access on the internet

    Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram - all encrypt communications end to end.

    Facebook messenger doesn't have end to end encryption by default. WhatsApp does - which is why there was a big issue about security services being allowed a backdoor into the platform after the Westminster attack. There's no reason for a young teen to be using Whatsapp.

    It’s literally 2 taps to start an encrypted conversation on Facebook Messenger, though. And it will soon have full encryption.

    I firmly believe all messenger platforms should be fully encrypted.

    As for no reason for a young teen to have WhatsApp... There’s no reason for them not to have it either...

    Until a 15 year old girl gets groomed because she's hiding her online behaviour.

    Pretty sure WhatsApp uses encryption and is often used for communication.

    Pretty sure 15 year olds using it haven't done a full strategic analysis of all their options and have settled on using it for it's encryption

    even more sure their parents havent got a fecking clue about What's Apps encrypton and would know whether other apps have it - or how do intercept communciations and decode them from other apps.

    Imagine the conversation - Tracy from Wombwell having with their Chardonnay - why are using What's App - You know I like to intercept your communications and decode them with my 20 giga byte bitlocker software so I can check whether the person communicated with you is trying to get you to harm yourself, take flight to syria or is just trying to get in your knickers.

    I've seen the spreadsheet that supports this.

    I’d have also added dangerous and inept to that. I’d have then added that this is the case when you have no opposition and you can do what you want.
    Horrible isn’t it?

    Not if the parents have a bit of responsibility and oversight on what platforms their child is using. People seem to lazily believe that nothing can be done.

    A very fine line between oversight and intrusion though.

    Due to my line of work, I often get asked for ways that parents can protect kids online. One of the worst things to do is to put hard blocks in place.
    In most cases that i've researched, the more blocks that are in place, the more the child will do behind their parents back. The only way to keep a child safe online is to have an open line of communication, to accept that they will want to do things that you probably don't like.
    The more blocks that are in place, the more creatively the kids will get around them (and trust me, if the kid wants to get around them, they will find a way).
    The most creative methods to get around the blocks can lead to some very dark avenues and make communications untraceable in some situations.

    I know of children that took to using the dark web (Tor) to get around parental blocks. You don't need me to tell you where this went.

    I'm not a parent, this is from years of experience in the IT Security field, years of experience in IT Development so this is coming purely from a tech and research point of view.
