The UK government has tabled an amendment to the Online Safety Bill that could put it on a collision course with end-to-end encryption.

It’s proposing to give the incoming Internet regulator, Ofcom, new powers to force messaging platforms and other types of online services to implement content-scanning technologies, even if their platform is strongly encrypted — meaning the service/company itself does not hold keys to decrypt and access user-generated content in the clear.
