This is genuinely terrible for people living in the UK who care about their privacy and freedom on the internet.

I do wonder whether this bill was caused by sincere misunderstanding of how tech works on the part of the legislators or, more cynically, a government agenda to crush privacy on the internet. Either way, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

"The government, however, has said the bill does not ban end-to-end encryption.

Instead it will require companies to take action ... as a last resort develop technology to scan encrypted messages...

Tech companies have said scanning messages and end-to-end encryption are fundamentally incompatible."

Any questions? You can't make a bill for what is impossible, and this debate is going on for how many years now? It is agenda.

You know you are screwed when someone repeats apparent lies over and over...
