Are VPNs in the UK getting banned? If e2ee is getting banned for “online safety,” many apps are at risk, but doesn’t that mean that you could just install the apps via a VPN?
After Brexit there’s Digital Brexit
“we want to break https, SSL, TLS, SSH…”
Man, operating servers in the UK is going to be FUN!
First of all, these protocols don’t allow for backdoors so good luck with that. Are they going to ditch all those and run their own private internet or something?
Seriously, what they want isn’t even possible, and even if it were, it won’t. fix. anything.
Real criminals will just continue using these real encryption protocols that you cannot break, so this just ends with the state being able to spy on the common people.
And nobody will abuse this, if 50.000 pounds disappears from yout bank about then fuck you, shut up, you never had that…
Politicians are stupid.

Doesn’t matter, tbh. The entire problem of giving governments (or whoever) a backdoor is that there’s no way to make it only available to the “good guys”.
If Apple and co did put in backdoors to satisfy the Brits, the first thing every other government on earth would do is legislate itself access to the backdoor.
With or without a proper backdoor, this law breaks the tech.
