The bill will allow the UK government or Ofcom to require WhatsApp to apply content moderation policies that can't be enforced without disabling the end-to-end encryption

WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world, but soon people living in the UK might not be able to use it. As Will Cathcart, Meta's head of WhatsApp, stated, WhatsApp would prefer to be banned in the UK than disable its end-to-end encryption . The statement comes during Cathcart's visit to the UK, in which he will meet legislators to discuss the government's online safety bill.

As you probably know, end-to-end encryption is a feature that encrypts the messages you send to prevent unauthorized parties, including WhatsApp, from reading your communication with your friends.
