Im a brit, Im not tech expert but I work adjacent to tech. I feel some what smug over this:

* If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear is official policy

* We aggressively use "tools" like this both domestically and abroad, both for military/intel and for law enforcement with basically no oversight

* Our government are basically technic-illiterate. And proud of that in many cases.

So this is a train wreck of their own making.

The only thing making me sad is that it will have zero effect.
