If this amendment passes, every smartphone in the UK becomes a state-mandated monitoring device. The clause for ‚tamper-proof system software‘ to prevent child abuse material would require continuous on-device scanning of photos and videos. It’s client-side scanning, a massive breach of privacy dressed up as child protection.

Nothing new, privacy just doesn’t exist in this world, no matter what country is mentioned, developed or poor, everything is the same

I always thought 1984 was about the Soviet Union. Then when I read it I realized it took place in the UK. I found that odd

The UK normalized CCTV and public surveillance a decade or so ago. “If you aren’t doing anything wrong…” etc. it’s just a slow march with predictable steps. US is next since the “don’t tread on me” folks are all frothed up and distracted to see what they elected and are permitting.

Meanwhile, most people here keep buying AI powered electronics using spyware OS’s, and commit their private life to Internet dependency.

I consider UK my home, I lived here most of my life since I moved here as a child. This shit will absolutely make me go back to Poland, at least there I have a strong feeling non of this surveillance will be accepted
