So encryption is dead in the UK?

Do they not realize there are messaging services that don’t even have a central server or even an entity responsible?

Or companies that don’t even have a presence in the UK, and thus no responsibility to comply with their laws?

Pedos will just download and install something like Keet or Signal or Session while the privacy and security of law-abiding citizens are irrevocably compromised…

Or just create a simple messaging app within a day using libre options with some AI tools to re-brand it.
