People keep telling me how email is a great federation success story. The DNA Lounge store has a simple spell checker attached to the email field that knows about the 30 or so most popular domains, and valid TLDs.

So. Homebrew is illegal now too, then?

I get that some organizations need to save-face.
They made a big show of saying they will pull out of the UK if this law passes...well this law is going to pass, as is, with no concessions.
The draft text hasn't changed, how the regulations will be written and implemented hasn't changed.

"A notice can only be issued where technically feasible"
The reality on the ground is that as soon as the UK's Online Safety bill becomes law then the de-facto assumption must be that any service provider with significant exposure to the UK might be under a notice that mandates the compromise of the security and/or privacy of that service.
The statement made today - explicitly designed to defuse any tension that might have held up the bill - only re-enforces that position.
The framing that this is a "win" for online privacy is deeply disingenuous.

✅ 1. Encryption can't be outlawed
✅ 2. Backdoors for the good guys only are impossible
