Outside Looking In: Approaches to Content Moderation in End-to-End Encrypted Systems

The Center for Democracy & Technology issued a report on end-to-end encryption and how individual rights, including privacy, can be upheld when facing problematic content on encrypted platforms. The report offers a clear definition of end-to-end encryption, expectations for sufficient encryption deployments and examples of methods for content moderation within encryption schemes to preserve or violate user privacy. CDT's release comes in response to alleged backdoors recently announced for Apple's messaging services.
