@igalmarino @privacy it won't erode encryption worldwide - any more than China did. They'll just pull out of the UK
In a selfish way... I'd like for the UK to do this and for it to go horribly horribly wrong for them. Maybe that would finally get the US reps to get their heads out of their butts so l don't have to keep signing petitions and writing essays about why weakening encryption is a horrible idea.
@Dark_Arc this is generally referred to as accelerationism and I think it's a cromulent ideology.
If you think the only way to get to a sane world is to achieve and pass through the insane one first, then doing it as quickly as possible makes sense.
