This is by far the most extreme steps the UK has gone in trying to abolish online anonymity altogether, by turning electronics into spy cameras, and making vpn useless with age verification. George Orwell’s 1984 was suppose to be a warning, not an instruction manual. Privacy is required for healthy democracy and yet the UK Government is trying to make it a thing of the past
On-Device surveillance… what could go wrong with that…
They say we’re a divided country. We are, on a lot of issues. But I don’t know anyone, left or right, who thinks this is a good idea.
I have no fucking clue who this is meant to be for or what Labour’s doing.
The “why are you against this new digital ID” crowd going to be real quiet in this thread lmao
A group in the House of Lords has proposed this amendment. It doesn’t have enough support in the upper house, and hasn’t even touched the lower house.
The government has no obligation to implement this. It’s little better than “think tank proposes XYZ”.
The article makes no mention that these ammendments were added by the unelected house of Lords. We need reformation of our parliament to stop unelected and usually out of touch peers trying to influence and sometimes override elected representatives.
The patients are in charge of the insane asylum; we’ve elected mumsnet levels of intellect into government.
>In practical terms, the only way for such software to “prevent the recording, transmitting (by any means, including livestreaming) and viewing of CSAM” would be **for devices to continuously scan and analyze all photos, videos, and livestreams handled by the device.**
>**That process would have to take place directly on users’ phones and tablets, examining both personal and encrypted material to determine whether any of it might be considered illegal content**. Although the measure is presented as a child-safety protection, its operation would create a system of constant client-side scanning.
>**This means the software would inspect private communications, media, and files on personal devices without the user’s consent.**
Absolute bat shit. This is beyond overreach.
The stupid shit our government focuses on instead of anything useful like bringing our sky high energy bills down
I’m convinced this is part of a war strategy.
Every country is desperately trying to control the narrative in any way possible.
I’ll never ever vote for Labour ever again. Same with any party who pushes things like this.
I spent 30 seconds on that article and found the actual law amendments proposals.
It’s amendments made from the House of Lords so that will get booted out once it reaches the commons again.
It was only a matter of time. I really do wonder whether this is all linked to the inevitable outcome of war that the government seems to be preparing us for now.
Looks like people will have to start writing letters to communicate
Why do we still have the House of Lords? Bunch of nonces
What about people who use devices for sensitive information for their work. Be that national security, medical records, sensitive company data that could be used by competitors (the Chinese), legal records such as conversations with solicitors etc.
