No more end-to-end encryption is one of the consequences of a new law proposed in a draft in the UK.
The authors of the draft want to force internet providers to monitor all communications in near realtime, as well as install backdoor equipment to break encryption, so providers can be required to turn over communications to authorities "in an intelligible form" (non-encrypted) within one working day.
In the UK, law already requires internet providers to store all browsing data for 1 year.
It isn't yet known how the requirement for a backdoor will work, since many messaging and other apps use end-to-end encryption for security, including Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Wire, and iMessage, and these apps are based outside of the UK.
