Did you even read the article? They are refusing to allow the British government to control the encryption standards used by the entire world. They are also not the only company to make this decision. Any company using E2EE will be affected.
No one reads the articles. They just want to be outraged, not informed.
People running their own (eg Matrix) servers outside the UK will be unaffected.
