REPORT: UK government officials are now drafting a law that would jail tech executives for up to FIVE YEARS if they refuse to build scanners that inspect EVERY photo, video, and message on your phone.
Think about that.
The claim is keeping children “safe.” But beneath the surface, this has all the hallmarks of a cover story for expanding surveillance.
The proposal would force Apple, Google, and other tech giants to make it impossible for a child to send, receive, view, or share a single nude image, with executives who refuse facing up to five years in prison.
The children are the headline; surveillance is the product.
The new technology to accomplish this is called “client-side scanning.” Watch the video below to see how it works.
This threat to jail Big Tech CEOs seems to be a bit of a farce because, let’s be honest, government and Big Tech are best friends.
The threat of prison simply gives Big Tech an excuse to say, “Well, we have to comply. We have no choice.”
Meanwhile, Microsoft and Apple themselves are reportedly among the companies that helped develop the technology behind client-side scanning.
It’s one big club, and we ain’t in it.
