"Today The UK Parliament Undermined The Privacy, Security, And Freedom Of All Internet Users"

EFF's take on the UK's "Online Safety Bill"

Will it kill encryption? Any other way to read it? 🤔

@davemark It will likely never be enacted but will be used as a stick to whack the tech insured with whenever the govt needs to distract the masses by screaming WON’T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN?

rjfaas,

@davemark This might sound like dick comment coming from an American, but is the UK a big enough market that companies will play ball when it comes to this?

I mean companies will accept edicts from large markets like China, the US or EU because those markets are as large as they are - does the UK post-Brexit matter enough that companies will agree to this just to stay there or will they just pack up sticks and walk away?

@rjfaas Hard question. I’ve got a feeling this legislation will fall apart before it ever comes to this.
