Re: Online Safety Bill
The Lords debated this and now require a "suitable person" to authorise access but not defining what that person will be. One peer recognised that to have the mechanisms available to allow access (however authorised) makes the whole encryption vulnerable.
I wonder what would happen if access was available, services remained in the UK and then some group of vulnerable people that relied on the secure service to report issues or communicate was suddenly targeted because the nasties found/made a copy of the back door key.
