How is a country going to end encryption worldwide? The West okay, bu what jurisdiction do they have over me?

    That's what I also fail to grasp.

    If things get serious and for example the WhatsApp, Telegram and Signals of the world have to disable e2ee to keep operating in the UK, I guess they could just leave that market before compromising data privacy of their users worldwide.

    I don't see this "ending encryption worldwide" thingy happening, at all.

    But they could dig themselves a deeper hole after Brexit, that's definitely possible and wouldn't surprise me a bit.

    Just make a list how many companies tech companies operate from west. All those companies have to follow the law of the homeland.

    Sure, but most of those companies didn't even care much about privacy any way. How would this affect Matrix for example?

    Idk where you live, but much of the world already lacks privacy
