Another slow hand clap for the UK Gov, this time for failing to understand that:

B. Everyone else will lose a basic right to privacy.
C. It might be a moot point because if Apple, Signal, WhatsApp and co pull out of the UK, everyone including the UK Gov will no longer have any messaging platform available anyway.
