The speedquack cyrocrunk failed, need pryoram ciclicogram asap,

This is actually bonkers and goes to show that governments are loosing this battle, this just means that no matter what we cant stop.

All those companies willingly hand over our data when asked. At this point it's almost a feature

Wtaf?

Easier, not possible.

Do you have a link to the law?

Not sure which one is dumber

The USA or UK

So google, amazon and Microsoft are hostile actors

Obviously not. They're happy to give MI5 a backdoor into all their systems.

This is the apoteosis of incompetence.

The age old question - malicious or stupid.

I think whatsapp it's already sharing chats with a few governments

Did they also invite a journalist to the group chat?

There's a common saying in Germany that applies.

Basically translates to: "Those Brits are crazy", but the literal translation would be: "The Brits are spinning" (yarn).

Obelix knows best.

No one said there was

Cyberpunk is an aesthetic style.

Cypherpunk is not.

Yes.

Do they strictly define end to end encryption in this bill?

If not, then yes, TLS is "end to end" as the sender encrypts the message, and the receiver decrypts it. Each "end" to each "end" is encrypted, satisfying the semantics of the term.

Your explanation assumes that scope and scale are part of the definition which it is not.

If you keep zooming in or zooming out the definition of E2E keeps changing under your statement.

If the only knowledge a system has is between a sender and a receiver (Which satisfies even your definition of "intended recipient") then TLS is E2E encrypted.

What I see here is that the UK is a hostile entity towards humanity. So, fuck the UK government and all their parties. Since we're here, fuck the French government as well, just in case.

https://blog.giovanh.com/blog/2025/10/14/a-hack-is-not-enough/ this article makes a sadly excellent point in response to you here. Fair warning: it's long. But even if you dip out early I assume you'll get the point being made

It's not really wrong though. This kind of legislation certainly makes me hostile.

It's from this report https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/69411a3eadb5707d9f33d7e8/E03512978_-_Un-Act_The_National_Security_Act_in_2024_Accessible.pdf

I emailed my MP about this before Christmas and am yet to get a reply

I am trans and a U.S citizen, the UK govt cannot comprehend how hostile I can towards it.

For their own use they have one that would have been a simple off the shelf option for others.

Hell yeah

That is irritating. Consider writing anew.

Even the US used to ban the export of strong encryption algorithms. You used to have to download the stronger encryption algorithms separately. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Cryptography_Extension

The definition of E2EE has evolved since the concept surfaced. You seem to be stuck with the original meaning.

TLS does not fit the modern definition.

Protectind yourself from beind spied on and then potentially blackmailed is a hostile behavior!

Look mate yaint paid ya proivocy loicence fer ages.

If they’re not doing anything wrong, they don’t need to read private communications.

Seems appropriate, since the game was invented by brits and the Imperium is an unholy amalgamation of the Roman and British Empires

...to the blackmailer, yes.

https has got to go

Cyberpunk is a genre first and foremost. A critique of capitalism set in a corporate dystopia with transhumanist themes.

A lot of the aesthetic is rooted in the culture of the time period that it was created in (the 80s). The cultural fear, more specifically. A time where American corporations, and by extension the US government and population, were afraid of the Japanese economic boom and saw a future where the dollar was replaced by the yen and Japanese supplanted English as the lingua franca of the world, Japanese culture was exported the way American culture is, and Americans started eating their meals with chopsticks instead of forks.

sneak up into a dark street corner at night

"Ay you got that ed25519?"

No clue where that is from and if it's already in effect, but what's marked here only talks about developers, not users. Still, what a world to live in

Normally the certificate signing authority should never see, not need to see anybody's private key, so no.

But they can, taking help from the DNS (or ISP), send you to a fake website.

Not running down Signal or any other e2ee client out there. But there are in fact ways to prevent the recipient from retaining and, at least via the device they are using to receive the messages, copying the data within messages. Several banking apps actually include such measures. And perhaps even having a Mission Impossible-esque self destruct on the message where it re-encrypts and then deletes the messages after they have been viewed is a viable way to prevent retention. It would not prevent somebody from using another device to snap a picture of the information in the message, but it would definitely cut down on people's ability to easily leak private conversations that are intended to stay that way.

Bar to become enemy of British crown is getting lower and lower...

Welcome to the resistance

I paid it, but the transaction was private. Have a nice day.

Dad?

The autonomous murder bots are not complete yet

I heard reddit sends out warnings for updating certain comments these days.

always wanted to be a hostile witness

They choose force your hand. Draw the line where you wish. They will arrive at it given enough time.

The whole government is currently using the famous ROT26 encryption algorithm.
