So an update from the debate in the House of Lords on the encryption busting #spyclause in the #onlinesafetybill. Labour withdrew their amendment that would have provided judicial oversight after the Government said they would not accept it. Lord Moylan withdrew his amendment that protected E2EE. Lib Dems force a division on their idea for ICO oversight but that fell 70 votes for and 178 against. #privacy #encryption

@falken @openrightsgroup was expected. Remember when the European court of Justice had to throw out a previous law of Theresa May?

@Nika2022
Sadly, UK citizens no longer have the protection of that since they fell for the siren call of "sovereignty" and voted to leave the EU. Or are you referring to the European Court of Human Rights and the Council of Europe, of which the UK is still a member?
@falken @openrightsgroup

@MurrayWindripper @falken @openrightsgroup the previous law was booted while they were still in...when May was still a mister thereby ECJ. Grounds: EU constitution and illegality of blanket data retention 'just in case we find something'
