The last paragraph in the article says:
"Earlier this month, junior minister Stephen Parkinson appeared to concede ground, saying in parliament's upper chamber that Ofcom would only require them to scan content where "technically feasible"."
By this I understand that all communication needs to be scanned except End To End Encryption where is not "technically feasible"
