    The incumbent government is circling the drain and are, it seems, determined to leave a trail of destruction and burned bridges for their successors to repair.

        In the UK, even conservatives hate the conservatives. It’s quite impressive, really.

            Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, one election at a time!

      Then they can point how useless the government is and get back in power

      No offence but isn’t a very similar policy about banning end-to-end encryption also in talk in the EU

      Absolutely don’t agree with it, will be the beginning of the end for privacy but this is more of a European wide (and even world wide) push for a close to e2e encryption

        GDPR is basically encrypt your shit and you’ll be fine. If they are seriously considering banning encryption the IT sector might as well shut up shop and run for the hills.

        It’s so bad the UK politicians actually use non MDM unmanaged devices so they can install whichever app they see fit. Tiktok you name it.

        We won a physical war via encryption and we’ll lose a digital one without it.

        I do seem to recall that some countries petitioned a weakening of e2ee. Some other countries through were firmly against it, so it seems it has lead to nowhere. For sure something to be aware of.
