The UK went from āwe need to stop kids from watching pornā to actual dystopian mass surveillance in the span of two years
Digital ID is the slipperiest slope of all time
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 safetyā systems already have a terrible track record protecting user data.
Last month, Europeās 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.
