The U.K. Parliament has passed the Online Safety Bill (OSB), which says it will make the U.K. “the safest place” in the world to be online. In reality, the OSB will lead to a much more censored, locked-down internet for British users. The bill could empower the government to undermine not just the privacy and security of U.K. residents, but internet users worldwide.

    I didn’t say they’re banning encryption, I was just referring to the back-door requirement. An encryption with a back-door is no encryption at all.

    Signal as far as I know isn’t based in the UK and hence not subject to these laws.
