The problem is that I would like to visit the UK as a tourist again as a developer of end-to-end encrypted applications. Geo-blocking all traffic from the UK, not selling to UK citizens, and strictly prohibiting the use of my applications for anyone from the UK should suffice to fulfill the UK's totalitarian demands. Anything else sets a horrible precedent.

Are you ready to fulfill China's and North Korea's requirements as a UK company?

Quite.

There's two reasons I left the UK: this nonsense (the whole Act, not just this specific bit) and Brexit.
