Why are Ofcom and UK Parliament still using https:// ? They should set an example, and stop using illegal end to end encryption!
I think the MI6 has to do the same on all of their communications too :)

Neat, how does this interact with the other Five Eyes nations? For example, can US traffic be intentionally tunneled through the UK and then be legally decrypted with no additional permission or oversight required? Would the UK attempt to compulsorily force decryption of a US company’s routed traffic – like some kind of extradition treaty for data? Will other Five Eyes nations simply act on their behalf and exert the force needed?
Facebook, Google et al. literally just said “fuck it” and stopped serving news content to Canadian and Australian users when they tried legislating around it. I’m curious if UK users won’t just get geoblocked out of many major services lol
The owner these companies are apparently liable for correctly policing content on their platform. If they fail, they face jail time. That’s certainly not a risk I’d be comfortable with, so I sure as hell would gtfo too.
