Ministers have been warned WhatsApp could disappear from the UK
The tech giant says it would sooner leave the UK than comply with the legislation it believes "compromises" the privacy of all users and could allow Ofcom to scan people's private messages.
Messages on WhatsApp are secured with this technology and the firm has previously said it would sooner leave the UK than risk the security of its other users. WhatsApp, Signal, and a coalition of providers voiced their concerns in an open letter released last month. "These services, such as WhatsApp, will potentially leave the UK," Claire Fox told the House of Lords last week. "This is not like threatening to storm off. It is not done in any kind of pique in that way. In putting enormous pressure on these platforms to scan communications, we must remember that they are global platforms."
