Britain admits defeat in its controversial fight to break encryption.

The UK government has admitted that the technology needed to securely scan encrypted messages sent on Signal and WhatsApp doesn’t exist, weakening its controversial Online Safety Bill.

The UK is poised to force a bad law on the Internet.

WhatsApp and Signal have threatened to shut down services in Britain if the Online Safety Bill includes restrictions that undermine encryption. The government is pushing it through anyway.

You can do the way you see fit & verify them.

@clickhere Wait: downtime shows us that a centralized service is able to shutdown communication for billions of people at once (by accident or intended) and your solution is to switch to @signalapp … another centralized service 🤨🤯

Oh how convenient it is, BoJo forgot the password for a device with crucial evidence. Considering his track record and constant lying, I wonder who's going to believe this BS :blobfoxangrylaugh: archive.is/09RTm
