TL;DR - Meta already implements encryption and is planning to fully implement end-to-end encryption. The Government via the Home Secretary has told Meta to abolish encryption and allow everything to be available to them or either leave the UK (for a private UK social media firm to take its place) or face being banned by Ofcom. Braverman's rationale? Encryption allows child abuse to happen and that everything should be done to protect children's safety - at any cost. Which is like saying locks on doors allow crimes to happen in private homes so remove locks from all doors because "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear".
Just when you think this Government couldn't get more tyrannical and drunk with power.

I agree, which is why everyone who reveres the child rapist Mohammad should be deported. Oh, that doesn't count? Then go to hell.
