The UK government spyware demand means that the government decides exactly what should be censored on every mobile device. They say they will start with nude pictures (if you don’t identify yourself as an adult). But it could at any time be expanded to anything the government disapproves of. Today, 30 people are arrested every day in the United Kingdom for writing something online that the government classifies as "grossly offensive". It is obvious that they will use this tool to restrict free speech.
Currently, there appears to be no requirement to report findings outside the device. However, with both legal and technological decision-making power taken away from individuals and transferred to the government, that is only a pen stroke away.
This means that the government could also use this system for total mass surveillance.
And they can do so in secret.
The government recently, in secret, tried to pressure Apple (which is now agreeing to client-side scanning) to build backdoors into its end-to-end encrypted cloud service. They can do this under the Investigatory Powers Act 2016, also known as the "Snoopers' Charter" – a law that makes it illegal for tech companies to disclose secret demands from the government.

Tu refuses de te positionner entre Bardella et Mélenchon : t'es un facho.
Tu dis que t'hésites entre Bardella et Mélenchon : t'es un facho.
Tu vas voter Bardella "à contrecoeur" car Mélenchon parle fort : t'es un facho.
Simple, basique.
Received a message that my recent cartoon about the Henry Nowak case has been banned on X for EU nations for “hate speech.”
@elonmusk How do I appeal this? This appears to be a clear abuse of the policy by the European left.
They are destroying TVs, laptops, antennas, satellites, and other electronic devices because they are haram and didn’t exist in Muhammad’s time. All while using their phones to film and post it online.
Stupidity knows no bounds.
