Who wants to hide whatever, can already assume the current methods of communications are compromised. I think it will be a cat and mouse game, where people will be finding more and more creative ways of exchanging keys and disguising encrypted messages in seemingly normal conversations or images. It will be again something that won't affect serious criminals, but will give government an insight into who is committing wrong think of the given year (as these things change over time). I can also imagine, given the wages in the UK are pretty bad, especially for engineers, many of those working on the necessary infrastructure would be tempted by the ideas of insider trading, leaking company and private secrets to the highest bidder and so on. It feels like this government just doesn't give a flying toss and they just want take a dip into people private lives and see what they can get out of it. What is even more worrying is that the opposition also supports this bill.
