    They won’t do that, they’ll either turn off the option of E2EE or pull the app from the UK market if the app is entirely E2EE, because the UK market isn’t big enough to be making worldwide demands like this.

      I generally agree, Apple has threatened to remove some apps from the UK market over this, so it’s not like this will be accepted lying down. But the reality still exists that most things like VPN tunnels are operated by companies, so they can’t legally operate in the UK without the backdoor. Overall, this will primarily hurt UK citizens, but this law threatens to impact everyone on Earth
