@0 @privacy companies will just pull out of the UK rather than permit this. The UK outside the EU is too small a market to capitulate to and it will send a strong signal to other authoritarian nations. I wonder what voters will do when one day they wake up and there’s no WhatsApp or iMessage.
The Tories don't have to worry they're basically going to be voted out anyway, quite possibly by the largest landside in political history. They know it, so they are now just making life more difficult for everyone for no reason.
