Almost like it was a non-starter. Who could have possibly foreseen that?

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

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...
