Even if they can't identify the people talking at the time, it would be useful to scupper plans being made to bomb a particular place at a particular time.

If Whattsapp were to be proscribed, I doubt that those who were simply talking about apple pie recipes would go to these lengths or risk getting caught though.

Whattsapp would lose most of their users in the UK if they refused to comply and the Government didn't back down.

Maybe the Government will make it a criminal offence to use WhatsApp?

I doubt that most people would risk the consequences of using a proscribed platform. The remaining users are likely to be using a platform using end to end encryption for questionable purposes, so O suspect that they would go after the remaining users.

Also, money talks and Whattsapp may eventually relent when they realise how much money/market share that they will lose. At the moment I suspect it's nothinf more than verbal jousting.

Looks like they will bypass this by going in through a back door to circumvent efforts to hide what's being said;

No idea. I assume that they'll employ experts in this field to achieve their goal.

I'm sure they will have, but the less organised terrorists and paedophiles regularly use Wharrsapp.

Reasonably, because they are tested by GCHQ’s National Cyber Security Centre.

Media reports and filmed interactions when they are caught where evidence is discussed.

I have never claimed that they definitely will do. My point is that if they do so, I suspect that you and others wouldn't risk the consequences and go to the trouble of using a proscribed service, particularly when legal alternatives would still exist.
