Deliberately back dooring encryption is fucking stupid.
The intent is to stop criminals using encryption. But sooner or later, probably sooner, someone with nefarious intent is going to break the so called backdoor. It will be a shit show and won't be the only thing the world laughs at the Brits for.

"hence Signal, WhatsApp and others have said they'd leave the UK rather than comply. In practice, this will mean geo-locking their apps in the App Store and Google Play to prevent installation to UK devices, a move that will hurt ordinary people but which is absolutely no barrier to anyone with motivation. Like criminals"

@GreenandBlack
Surely, the use of the word "broken" implies it used to work OK?!
I think a brief reading of history, shows this NOT to be the case!!
