Apple has said planned changes to British surveillance laws could affect iPhone users’ privacy by forcing it to withdraw security features, which could ultimately lead to the closure of services such as FaceTime and iMessage in the UK.

Great! If you’re technical and not have iOS. That’s already 50% of British market not using it.

Besides, it won’t help you if that’s a government mandate, and Google will be forced to take it down for the UK market from the store. Not a lot of people are installing apps from outside the Play Store.

Too bad if people arent willing to adapt. I guess you'll just have to use paper notes and face to face contact, or whatever app your government makes. /S

I don't believe Tox has had a security audit so be careful using it
