Coming soon: 'Strong' encryption is illegal in the UK without a licence. Banks and other institutions will pay for licences for their websites and their behind-the-scenes comms but also be required to use backdoored crypto where the govt and police and govt agencies hold keys.
An inter-country agreement makes us interoperable. All comms are monitored for anything looking encrypted but not decryptable by the state using their keys.
It will be an easy sell because those who want full personal privacy will be seen as suspect. It will also make money from licensing.
