   "An operator of a messaging service wishing to introduce an advanced security feature would now have to first let the Home Office [UK] know in advance."

     The UK government plans have nothing to do with protecting our security. It's about allowing State intrusion into the lives of UK residents.

     After the #OnlineSafetyBill and the #DPDIBill, it's another display of ignorance and bad faith by a government that's unfit to regulate the digital space.

     The UK government is taking a side in hindering important security measures that isn't in the public interest.
