I'm a UK resident not opposed to this bill.

First, child protection is paramount.

Second, The erosion of big tech companies' power is a benefit as far as I can see.

Third, We still have effective encryption in our hands. TLS is not going to be broken by this.

The argument that offenders will be pushed into darker corners of the internet is probably true, though I expect that will make it easier for law enforcement - take ANOM [1] as an example.

The battle I'd fight would be some kind of accountability in intelligence services.
