The U.K. Government Is Very Close To Eroding Encryption Worldwide

The U.K. Parliament is pushing ahead with a sprawling internet regulation bill that will, among other things, undermine the privacy of people around the world. The Online Safety Bill, now at the final stage before passage in the House of Lords, gives the British government the ability to force backdoors into messaging services, which will destroy end-to-end encryption. No amendments have been accepted that would mitigate the bill’s most dangerous elements. If it passes, the Online Safety Bill will be a huge step backwards for global privacy, and democracy itself.

    Sure, the title sounds like clickbait, but the point is: if a big enough player passes these laws, then the other countries may follow.

      yeah, it doesn’t destroy anything on the worldwide scale.
      but it weakens.

      erosion is a rather perfect term for it
