Apple Opposes surveillance-bill proposals in the United Kingdom

WhatsApp and Signal are among the platforms to have opposed a clause in the Online Safety Bill allowing the communications regulator to require companies to install technology to scan for child-abuse material in encrypted messaging apps and other services. Apple says it will remove services such as FaceTime and iMessage from the United Kingdom rather than weaken security if new proposals are made law and acted upon. The government wants messaging services to clear security features with the Home Office before releasing them to customers. The act lets the Home Office demand security features are disabled, without telling the public. Under the update, this would have to be immediate. Do you think that the United Kingdom is driving away tech investors ?
