UK Companies in Mass Tech Exodus Over Controversial Snoopers’ Charter

Concerns over Britain’s controversial Snoopers’ Charter are forcing tech companies based in the UK to leave the country. Following the 2015 general election in Britain, David Cameron announced the re-introduction of the Communications Data Bill, dubbed the ‘Snoopers’ Charter’. Details of the bill have yet to be disclosed, but according to reports, it will include a mandatory requirement to include cryptographic back-doors which can be accessed by MI5 and other government agencies. The proposals are already having an impact on British businesses.
