THE UK JUST MADE PRIVACY A CRIME.
The government wants a scanner built inside every phone in the country.
Scanning every citizen becomes the law. Refusing becomes 5 years in prison.
- The scanners would inspect every photo, message and video on your device before encryption
- Signal threatened to leave the UK entirely rather than build the backdoor
- Europe's age verification app built to "keep children safe" was hacked in under 2 minutes
- Another verification system leaked 70,000 IDs and selfies in a single breach
Orwell wrote 1984 as a warning. His own country turned it into law
BREAKING: The UK is drafting a law to scan every photo, video and message on every phone in the country.
Tech CEOs who refuse to implement this could face up to 5 years in prison.
The proposal would force companies to build device level scanners that inspect content before encryption.
That means:
• Every image scanned
• Every message inspected
• Every video analyzed
All directly on your phone.
Governments and companies pushing these safety” systems already have a terrible track record protecting user data.
Last month, Europe’s new age verification app, promoted as a way to "keep children safe," was hacked in under 2 minutes.
In another case, over 70,000 IDs and selfies linked to online verification systems were exposed in a major breach.
Now the UK wants even deeper access directly inside your device.
Once governments force surveillance tools into every phone, they can expand what gets monitored at any time.
