Are VPNs in the UK getting banned? If e2ee is getting banned for "online safety," many apps are at risk, but doesn't that mean that you could just install the apps via a VPN?
Encryption isn't banned. The government could just ask service providers to decrypt content at any time, allegedly so that it can be scanned for child abuse. This is impossible with e2ee, so such services may become impossible to operate in the UK.
