You think GCHQ don’t discover vulnerabilities and keep them to themselves instead of disclosing?
The intelligence services only have the remit for terrorism, threats to national infrastructure, serious organised crime and a couple of other bits; so the only reason to have this policy would be to exploit flaws to investigate low level crime.
Reminds me of when the Guardian found out local councils had been tapping phones to try and work out who was fly tipping.
Bear in mind that this clown government has shot itself in the foot many times.
For instance with their IR35 changes in public sector, they effectively lost access to experts and they can only depend on overpriced big consultancies that hire generally mediocre workers who couldn’t find work elsewhere or agency staff of similar quality.
Then they are not working with people who can show flaws in their policies.
We all know what happens if government is surrounded by yes-men and lack of expertise.
Hopefully, they won’t manage to get this through, but worry is that Labour also supports this.

Yeah right.
This is all nonsense anyway.
