This is good and proper.
I do wonder, however, how this will all pan out, because I am 100% sure parliament’s reaction to this is not going to be “oh shoot, ok, never mind then”.
Here's what will happen. They will be forced to remove from the play store and will probably need to be sideloaded. Then it will probably get Streisanded and be more popular. Then the UK government will eventually fold. My prediction.
Or people in the UK will move to Matrix, which doesn’t include servers by default so shouldn’t run afoul of the law.
