Please. Those companies are just branches of the US government and its vasal states.
The UK government only has to outlaw the big players implementing decent crypto, and 90%+ of communications will still be visible to surveillance. Even amongst criminals.
Actuatlly it doesn't make sense for the government criminals to 'outlaw' 'decent' crypto since they can get all the information they want from their criminal 'private' partners.
We should be worried, but this isn't a play for us.
