I was interviewed by the BBC for this article about the Online Safety Bill and powers to require the scanning of encrypted messages:
WhatsApp: We won't lower security for any government
by Shiona McCullum 30 July 2022
Dr Monica Horten, policy manager for the campaign organisation Open Rights Group, agreed: "If Apple can't get it right, how can the government?
"Client-side scanning is a form of mass surveillance - it is a deep interference with privacy."
