When will governments and the EU learn that weakening or eliminating e2e would be a higher security threat than being able to monitor communication. Don’t these suits know that it could also affect them negatively and open the door (pun intended) for criminals to target them?

The UK doing away with strong encryption would likely finish the job that the moron Brexiteers started.

Governments trying to weaken end to end encryption so they can do more surveillance under the guise of anti-terrorism, pretty typical tbh

Ah yes, online 'safety' legislation. Y'know, because terrorists and pedophiles are a big enough threat to warrant the end of online privacy for everybody. Surely this has no ulterior motive, such as the ability to monitor and spy on every little thing the people do online. A government would NEVER abuse its power like that. Never.

A little late to the party, considering Apple kicked off much of this anti-e2ee flight with their message scanning announcement.

the one thing that might cut through the Tory bullshit is tangible stuff for UK citizens like Whatsapp, Signal pulling their products from the UK market. If Apple decided to threaten to stop selling iOS devices that would probably be enough in itself to kill off this proposal.
