With UK’s new security bill that seems to more dismantle security rather than help. Am I still legally okay to use signal, VPN, tutanota, https, tor?

    Yes, it is still OK to use those services. The law is aimed at the messaging/social media businesses, not individuals, and is vague enough that they won’t have to do anything around their E2EE until there is viable technology available to square the circle of allowing for the checking of illegal abuse content while not functionally destroying E2EE. So potentially never.
