With UK's new security bill that seems to more dismantle security rather than help. Am I still legally okay to use signal, VPN, tutanota, https, tor?

I thought the legal bits were for those running the services, not those using them?

The TLDR is that when E2EE that allows the government to monitor its contents without giving up encryption for everyone else becomes technically possible, those running the services must assist the government in doing so.
