Richard do you understand just how big the system will be to do this. Plus even IF they could and they cannot, it would cost a fortune. Checking every single encrypted message sent on every single encrypted message App
So how would they track me if i am using a burner phone or logged into an open WIFI access point. ?

If Whattsapp were to be proscribed, I doubt that those who were simply talking about apple pie recipes would go to these lengths or risk getting caught though.
Whattsapp would lose most of their users in the UK if they refused to comply and the Government didn't back down.

And/or just use one of the many other options out there.
Anyone who doesn't want Meta to own their stuff (by own I mean allowing Meta to use it for whatever they want) probably doesn't use WhatsApp anyway.

I doubt that most people would risk the consequences of using a proscribed platform. The remaining users are likely to be using a platform using end to end encryption for questionable purposes, so O suspect that they would go after the remaining users.
Also, money talks and Whattsapp may eventually relent when they realise how much money/market share that they will lose. At the moment I suspect it's nothinf more than verbal jousting.

Looks like they will bypass this by going in through a back door to circumvent efforts to hide what's being said;

How are the Goverment going to get access to a backdoor?

Maybe you could, but would you really risk getting caught breaking the law when alternatives exist?

No idea. I assume that they'll employ experts in this field to achieve their goal.

I'm sure they will have, but the less organised terrorists and paedophiles regularly use Wharrsapp.

Please show me where they will make it a LAW that will prevent me as a private citizen from using WhatsApp or any other E2E encrypted App in the UK. Real evidence not what you think will happen.

Reasonably, because they are tested by GCHQ’s National Cyber Security Centre.

Media reports and filmed interactions when they are caught where evidence is discussed.

I have never claimed that they definitely will do. My point is that if they do so, I suspect that you and others wouldn't risk the consequences and go to the trouble of using a proscribed service, particularly when legal alternatives would still exist.

You never met anyone with an ITV Digital gold card, a dodgy cable box or a Fire Stick?
