    I think the major concern is the idea of the government backdoor, any company that implements such a thing is adding a serious weakness to their product. I’m sure the major companies will probably find some other way to contain it to the UK (or leave the UK entirely), but some will opt for the backdoor to cut costs.

      I’d imagine any company who needs their encryption to be taken seriously will openly remove encryption or the product entirely in the UK only.

      Since otherwise all their customers would assume they added backdoors and compromised security…

      “I think the major concern is the idea of the government backdoor”

      The concern is individual security and privacy, not the government getting what it deserves if that were to happen
