Investigatory Powers Act signed into UK law by Queen

Commercial suicide

I just had a thought, this bill will murder investment in the UK.

Imagine it,

You want to send sensitive company data to any employees, securely, you can't.

You want to leave said data on an intranet with web access securely, oh look, you can't.

You want to research a company with a view to a takeover, in private, hah some chance

Even if I'm being overly paranoid, if companies haven't legged it because of brexit, they'll be leaving in droves if they can't rely on secure internet as a general principle.

It's commercial suicide.. Especially since we're a service economy.. Cue the Jarrow Dataminers strike 2017..
