The naming of the most recent bill is also another sneaky way of manoeuvring around - online safety bill. It's hard for an MP to vote against it and then try to justify it to their constituents who, let's face it, aren't that knowledgeable or interested even in the subject. When you have the cost of living crisis (which is now used to justify a host of other things...) and an upcoming winter where heating/electricity costs could keep on rising, something like messaging encryption isn't the first thing on your list. Hell, most people are juggling 3-4 social media apps hoovering up their data, this is the LEAST of their concerns. And I can't blame them. So they will use whatever argument gets Joe Average to vote for an MP that will then enact these measures.
