Today marks the first day of the Report Stage of the Online Safety Bill. As this Bill progresses through the Houses of Parliament, we hope to (once again) raise the alarm around the risks to encryption posed by this Bill.

I suspect it might be “decrypt this message, or you’re going to jail”.
If you’re going to use your own open source encryption “extension” make sure you don’t lose the decryption key… or you could end up in jail even if you have nothing to hide.
True, but if they do store it, they better be able to decrypt it if they have UK customers. I hope the major messaging platforms leave the UK over this.
