@RJJaczko@JoeFromSeattle1 The argument is that you are free to spend 100000$ on your "rockstar loves you very much edition" and receive the ability to fucking put your face on the main character of the game as long as it doesnt lock gameplay behind an extra pay wall. Cosmetics yes, gameplay no.
Die EU Kommission will die Initiative #StopKillingGames einfach ignorieren.
Bürger sind wirklich so störend mit ihren Wünschen…

This is what the UK spyware proposal means.
There must be government spyware on every mobile device. It shall watch everything that happens, including always watching the screen, looking for things the government disapproves of.
When anything is flagged by the software as something the government doesn't like, the software must block it from being sent or displayed (in realtime).
The user of the device must not be able to shut this watching and blocking off. The only way to shut it off would be to ask the government or its proxies to do so for you, at their discretion.
Therefore the whole device must be locked down. Administrator rights and the decision of what software or operating system to run or not to run must be taken from the owner/user and handed to the government and its proxies.
Apple and Google are themselves working hard to lock down the devices they are involved in to shut out competition and establish a duopoly.
The UK government says it is "working closely" with Apple and Google and currently they synchronise and coordinate their communication on this subject.
The UK government is now proposing to mandate what would otherwise be illegal anti-competitive practices.

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

Some politicians in the UK think it is a good idea to introduce identity verification for using VPN services.
It could be that these politicians do not understand what they are proposing. The alternative, that they do understand, would be even worse.
Whistleblowers, activists, and journalists depend on anonymous VPN services. Requiring identity verification for VPN services would put them at risk. It would also have a chilling effect on online debate (VPNs can help people post anonymously on social media).
In authoritarian countries, VPN services are crucial forcriticizing the government. That is precisely why such governments seek to ban or restrict them. Hopefully, the UK will not join that list.
