Unprecedented surveillance bill just passed in Britain. Will this destroy our right to privacy?

The Online Safety Bill was passed this week in the House of Parliament, and will most likely become law this autumn. While politicians before passing the law stated that they will not force tech companies to scan for abuse material if encrypted until "feasible" technology to do so becomes available, the clause that gives the government the power to break encryption anytime is still included in the final version of the bill. This is a severe threat to everybody's privacy online.

So the EU thought: Let's try again! After several data protection agreements between the EU and USA have already failed, they are now venturing another attempt with the Data Privacy Framework. But US surveillance - the underlying problem of the data sharing agreement - has not miraculously dissipated in the meantime.
