The U.K. Government Is Very Close To Eroding Encryption Worldwide
"The U.K. Parliament is pushing ahead with a sprawling internet regulation bill that will, among other things, undermine the privacy of people around the world. The Online Safety Bill, now at the final stage before passage in the House of Lords, gives the British government the ability to force backdoors into messaging services, which will destroy end-to-end encryption. No amendments have been accepted that would mitigate the bill’s most dangerous elements. "

@autonomysolidarity I'm hoping the tech companies will do the right thing, pull their products from the UK market. This is the time to take a stand on encryption with zero back doors. The final result of the actions in the UK will be the roadmap going forward. One might be that tech resists and exits the market, leaving the citizens worse off that they were before. The citizens revolt, and force their government to change the decision. The other is that tech folds, and we all lose.
