the government will reportedly confirm that communications regulator Ofcom will only require companies to introduce back-door access when a technology is developed that is capable of scanning networks in such a manner.
So never then?
Edit: This is a surprise as I was reading articles earlier today claiming that this was almost guaranteed to pass. It’s another can kick like the age verification law.
any article claiming that was written by a moron, they’ve been trying and failing to do this for a decade. It’s not the first attempt, it’s not gonna be the last. It’ll always fail
It was never going to pass. Sure they may have tried to push it through but there are far too many people that they would need to get it past, and those people either understand how technology works or at least consult people who understand how technology works.
The Tories always trying to implement laws that are physically impossible. All the sodding time.
And constituents. While you’d think failing to pass something would damage the party’s reputation, for hardcore members, the fact they tried to fight even a losing battle “for the cause,” is seen as a plus.
“It’s the other parties’ fault for getting in the way of justice!”
“It’s the other parties’ fault for getting in the way of justice!”
That’s been their go to defence for the last 13 years. It’s never their fault, it’s always someone else’s. So now it is starting to ring somewhat hollow, even with there own voter base.
Besides it’s never a good idea to be against human rights lawyers and charities, it’s not a good look.

If this always fails why do they keep trying ?
They will try again until people stop fighting it.
People shouldn’t let their guard down…

Same with the REUL bill. I don’t really understand why they propose them if they aren’t realistic. Could it be to appease backbenchers?
