Isn’t encryption illegal in the UK? Can’t you go to prison for social media posts making fun of politicians? Isn’t there low economic growth caused by restrictive regulation? Seems like the political class runs stuff over there.

I'd assume that when a UK publication writes an article like this, it refers to Europe as separate from the UK (esp as the UK is not mentioned).

Do you think the UK just can't access most of the internet that uses SSL encryption? What makes you think encryption is illegal?
