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.

      It looks like the US is still gunning for it, which is expected with top-down globalist policy. Yes, I’m in the UK where the last few leaders haven’t been elected by the people. All perfectly normal stuff.

          It’s the section “Access to electronic evidence” and the talk of encryption there, with delegates pressing “lawful access by design”. They aren’t dreaming of lawful access to encrypted byte streams and when there’s a backdoor for lawful access today, it’s available for different laws tomorrow. They do seem like they are on the same page on this, which isn’t surprising since it was floated onto the G7 agenda from wherever globalist policy originates from.
