‘Changes to U.K. Surveillance Regime May Violate International Law’

What will actually happen, I believe, is that E2EE messaging platforms like WhatsApp (overwhelmingly popular in the U.K.), Signal, and iMessage *will stop working and be pulled from app stores in the U.K.*, full stop. The U.K. seems to think it’s a bluff; I don’t.

@daringfireball @gruber these guys are also not unfamiliar with breaking international law: see treatment of asylum seekers
@rob @daringfireball @gruber You beat me to that comment! 💯
