Ever since devices and apps offering full encryption became popular with consumers, governments around the world have attempted to pass laws forcing companies to break encryption or build backdoors into their products. That way, law enforcement agencies would be able to collect data, including the contents of encrypted phones and chat apps that might be relevant for investigations. Those initiatives remained unsuccessful, and devices and apps that offer end-to-end encryption continue to provide strong protection to users.
The Indian government has proposed a different tracking method that doesn’t involve breaking the end-to-end encrypted texts. Officials want Facebook to tag each separate WhatsApp message so that it can be traced back to the original sender in case a crime is committed.
