With UK's new security bill that seems to more dismantle security rather than help. Am I still legally okay to use signal, VPN, tutanota, https, tor?

Yes keep using them. You'd be a fool not to.

https should be enforced by any proper websites. This won't change. Imagine sending your mail in clear envelopes. Would you bank like that?

Vpns will work. This cannot change, it would affect business and other legitimate uses for them even if it was enforceable.

You can use encrypted DNS over HTTPS or TLS easily to further enhance your encrypted self.

Fuck what some uninformed middle manager type bell end has come up with. Bail out of any company or product that bends over for them.
