    Using encryption is not a crime in England lmao. Where do you get your news from, Alex Jones?

    What, do you think banks store everybody’s details in plain text, nobody’s WiFi networks have passwords, etc?

        Most likely reports of dumb shit conservative politicians have called for, wanting access to messaging. You can find the exact same proposals in the US, European Parliament, individual EU countries, and a load of other places.

        Dumb, sure, but a proposal that always goes nowhere isn’t a law, and it’s certainly not England or even UK-specific.
