I'm thinking the relevant service providers are going back out of the UK rather than put in a backdoor for them.
This is what Apple has already threatened to do. They’ve said that if they’re going to be forced to introduce backdoors into iMessage for the UK, they’ll simply stop offering iMessage in the UK altogether. I’d imagine that other providers like Signal will do the same.
Companies from UK can't back out. They will have to follow these regulations. Then some more will follow to keep competing
Apple, SIgnal, Session, WhatsApp and a few others have already said they'll simply withdraw from the UK market if this bill goes through.
Lets hope it gets struck down in the Lords like the similarly descructive REUL bill
How many major and ubiquitous communication companies are HQ'd in the UK?
