Is there any more detailed info out there?
I would expect such an accord between countries to enable data sharing, not force companies to record more data. So I'm sceptical of the article's claim for now.
- smudgymcscmudge 7y agoAll I've found is this paywalled article. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/police-can-access-suspects-facebook-and-whatsapp-messages-in-deal-with-us-q7lrfmchz https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/police-can-access-su...
- Pete_D 7y ago(disclaimer, speculation) The Times article says this has been in progress for four years, so I suspect that this is the culmination of https://wiki.openrightsgroup.org/wiki/UK-US_Bilateral_Agreement_on_Data_Access https://wiki.openrightsgroup.org/wiki/UK-US_Bilateral_Agreem.... Which was originally planned to be encryption-neutral, but maybe things have changed in the past two years.
