Okay so how would this be enforced? Highly unlikely any messaging service that offers E2E is going to release a version without it just to satisfy the UK government. So this will basically be easily thwarted by using a VPN?
That's the lovely bit about putting a bill out there. The enforcement and feasibility is not the problem of the politicians anymore.
