Polling shows most of the British public oppose secret government surveillance powers and believe strong protections are needed for encrypted communications to safeguard privacy, security, and free speech.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Government surveillance powers face significant public resistance, creating a political and regulatory barrier for tech firms providing encrypted services.
