The letter calls on government officials to become proponents of digital security and work collaboratively to help law enforcement adapt to the digital era.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In July 2017, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull held a press conference to announce that the government was drafting legislation that would compel device manufacturers to assist law enforcement in accessing encrypted information. In May of this year, Minister for Law Enforcement and Cybersecurity Angus Taylor restated the government\u2019s priority to introduce legislation and traveled to the United States to speak with companies based there.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Today\u2019s letter, signed by 76 organizations, companies, and individuals, asks leaders in the government \u201cnot to pursue legislation that would undermine tools, policies, and technologies critical to protecting individual rights, safeguarding the economy, and providing security both in Australia and around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Whether it\u2019s online banking and purchases, secure communications with loved ones and colleagues, storage of sensitive data, or any number of other basic activities, we each rely on strong encryption to keep our personal information safe. Encryption and other digital security tools protect us against crimes like identity fraud, and in some circumstances, they provide important protections against physical harms.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cAustralia is facing a choice on cybersecurity and encryption: real security or false,\u201d said Nathan White, Senior Legislative Manager at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accessnow.org\/\">Access Now<\/a>. \u201cThe country can either be the testing ground for policies that undermine privacy and security in the digital era, or it can be a champion for human rights, leveraging its relationships to raise cybersecurity standards for the next generation. The world is watching.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In addition to the letter delivered by experts today, thousands of concerned individuals in Australia and around the world have joined the call for members of Parliament to reject any proposal that undermines the security of tools and devices we all depend on. You can join them in taking action by signing the petition at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accessnow.org\/secure-australia\/\">SecureAustralia.org.au<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, a global coalition led by civil society and technology experts sent a letter asking the government of Australia to abandon plans to introduce legislation that would undermine strong encryption.
