'Online Safety Bill', the UK parliament undermined the privacy, security, and freedom of all internet users - eviltoast

The U.K. Parliament has passed the Online Safety Bill (OSB), which says it will make the U.K. “the safest place” in the world to be online. In reality, the OSB will lead to a much more censored, locked-down internet for British users. The bill could empower the government to undermine not just the privacy and security of U.K. residents, but internet users worldwide.

    banking uses encryption for transactions exclusively between you and a bank. I don’t think the law is “no end to end encryption at all”

    They apply client-side scanning. Meaning the data gets scanned before it gets encrypted. This is like someone looking over your shoulder.
