Or Facebook/Google/Microsoft/Apple threatens to pull out of the UK due to insistence on a backdoor.
Like they have in China. Or the US. Or the UK where this was already in place years ago (albeit now it is official).
We'd be naïve to think that any of these organisations are protectors of anything other than their own self-interests.

There is push-back from these services (Apple and the recent case about unlocking phones, MS and access to data on servers outside the US).
I'm not disagreeing that it's partially driven by self-interest, e.g. attempting to sell secure services where there is a documented backdoor isn't good for business.

I imagine this will all blow back up again the first time one of the providers gets hacked or they all push prices up to cover the additional cost of implementation.
