Britons should watch out for the "Online Safety Bill", which threatens their (and potentially everyone else's) privacy, security/safety and free speech with backdoors, surveillance and censorship.

And of course they went with the protect children route. Like they think sex offenders obey the law and won't use E2EE just because the government tells them not to.

It's also a guilt trip/thought stopping strategy. It's designed to make anyone who supports E2EE look like pedophiles or pedophile sympathesizers and effectively kills any discourse on the matter.

UK also launched an anti Tor campaign few years ago, for parents to teach their children it was a big bad network.
