The UK Government is reportedly preparing a PR blitz against end-to-end encryption:
Meta recently said that it would implement end-to-end encryption in Facebook Messenger and Instagram by 2023, despite strong opposition from governments in the UK and elsewhere. However, the UK Home Office is reportedly planning an ad campaign to mobilize public opinion against end-to-end encryption using what critics called "scaremongering" tactics, according to a report from Rolling Stone.
The UK government plans to team up with charities and law enforcement agencies on a public relations blitz created by M&C Saatchi advertising agency, the report states. The aim of the campaign is to relay a message that end-to-end encryption could hamper efforts to curb child exploitation online.
"We have engaged M&C Saatchi to bring together the many organizations who share our concerns about the impact end-to-end encryption would have on our ability to keep children safe," a Home Office spokesperson told Rolling Stone in a statement. The government has allocated £534,000 ($730,500) for the blitz, according to a letter sent from the Home Office in response to a freedom of information request.

Hi! I'm Clippy!
You seem to be trying to make a political point, but you're getting confused between UK and USA politics. Why not crack a history book and fill your brain with knowledge?

Based on how the UK Tories have been behaving lately, no, I don't think they were confused in the slightest: The Tories have been making approximately the same argument that the US Republicans have been making to convince people to support them. The signature Tory policy of the last decade, Brexit, was sold on the "those socialists and greens on the continent shouldn't be able to control the great and glorious United Kingdom" and more than a bit of the same "brown people are sneaking over the borders of our country and will soon be running the place and we can't let that happen" that was key to Donald Trump.
At the very least, that poster is no more confused than Boris Johnson, based on an admittedly outsider impression of how he speaks and manages his hair. Say what you will about David Cameron and Theresa May, they at least appeared to have their brains fully functioning most of the time.
The only thing that stops a bad guy with a compiler is a good guy with a compiler.

what's your point, dumb ass? non-whites are being trafficked by the NGOs (non gentile organizations) into all White nations and they (the Jews and the invaders) all openly brag about replacing whites.

London has muslim anti-white mayor and there are fucking mosques all over the place. Ireland is being invaded by niggers, ffs. You're probably one of these brainwashed hypocrites who only have to deal with professional non-whites, or on your own terms like your service providers where they are usually on their best behavior and you have power over them. Poor whites have to deal with them as criminal aggressors and competitors for work, gov services,. etc. You're just a fucking race traitor. When it gets bad enough for people to wake up to what's been going on, you fucks will get yours.

The EU is anti-democratic. Brexit brings democracy to a far more local and accountable level. Why do you hate democracy and people having more of a say in how their country is ruled?
