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.

AI bots have officially crossed the line. Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince shared data showing bots and AI agents are now generating more internet traffic than humans for the first time. Honestly, this feels like one of those internet history moments people will underestimate. We spent years asking “when will AI change the web?” Apparently the answer is: it already did, and now humans are becoming the minority traffic source on their own internet. That is wild.
