    First of all, these protocols don’t allow for backdoors

    Doesn’t matter, tbh. The entire problem of giving governments (or whoever) a backdoor is that there’s no way to make it only available to the “good guys”.

    If Apple and co did put in backdoors to satisfy the Brits, the first thing every other government on earth would do is legislate itself access to the backdoor.

    With or without a proper backdoor, this law breaks the tech.
