PGP on its own will only protect the contents of communications, not the fact that the communication occurred, nor the parties of that communication. The proposed legislation will apparently still require a warrant for the contents (and in the UK you will be required to decrypt the contents on demand). So while I agree that PGP is a good thing, it will not work around this proposed legislation at all. If I had to choose, I would prefer to see effort going into political action to prevent this law being passed instead. This is an unwarranted privacy intrusion by definition. If it were warranted, then the police would be able to get a warrant.
