UK Lawmakers Propose Mandatory On-Device Surveillance and VPN Age Verification

> Lawmakers in the United Kingdom are proposing amendments to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill that would require nearly all smartphones and tablets to include built-in, unremovable surveillance software.

> The proposal appears under a section titled “Action to promote the well-being of children by combating child sexual abuse material (CSAM).”

So they only believe that surveillance on smartphones and tables, and surveillance on desktops isn't necessary?

OgsyedIE•1mo ago
Surveillance and nothing else? According to the sponsors this is really about the capacity to plant false evidence on protestors.
subscribed•1mo ago
This alone should tell you clearly enough its not about CSAM.
subscribed•1mo ago
Don't seem to be able to edit or delete it, but i responded to the wrong person obviously.
dmitrygr•1mo ago
it never was...
luxpir•1mo ago
Not to stand up for bad laws, but what is wrong with everyone in the comments? On what planet would they not have considered all angles? The peanut gallery has gotten ridiculously loud of late.
raxxorraxor•1mo ago
Well, surveillance on smartphones is possible, desktop devices are safer.
a456463•1mo ago
This will also include said lawmakers too right?
teekert•1mo ago
If people can watch the watchers, everybody can watch everybody. So: No. Some animals are equal, but some have to be more equal than others. Otherwise we can't have the most equal system. It's double-plus-good that way.

Now install the app, slave.

This would make it illegal to sell a phone or tablet with an unlocked/unlockable bootloader, wouldn't it.

Where are all the Europeans gloating about privacy and their "regulations" while their governments are basically erasing actual privacy and free speech?
mahmoudhossam•1mo ago
Friendly reminder that the UK left the EU over "sovereignty concerns" among other reasons.

The EU is the one with actual privacy regulations, for now at least.

RestartKernel•1mo ago
This isn't a gotcha. The same Europeans who gloat about privacy laws are horrified with these recent developments.
RevEng•1mo ago
How exactly does one make software that makes it impossible to view or transmit CSAM? What is looking at each picture, each video, each text message to make this determination?

This is the same classic "wiretap everything" solution that never works and just undermines people's rights. There's no way they would ever use this ability for anything else, right? And nobody else would ever abuse it either, right?

How long until people start using this to capture and produce CSAM?

All this will do is compel me to import my phones instead of buying them in the UK. If I stay below the thresholds I can even avoid giving 20% VAT to this dystopian government that we've ended up with.
