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.

To anyone pulling Lucy in Wuthering Waves, pull for the weapon first (if you have a lot of asterites).
You get pulls for doing pulls, and you get a free copy of Lucy after a certain number of pulls.

@Wuthering_Waves The only material that has value is echo XP, and it's the only thing you didn't make available.

Mass surveillance and censorship are escalating in many countries right now. There is a global attack on secure encrypted communication. Often, authorities, politicians, and tech companies work together to push for new laws. One example: when Ashton Kutcher (yes, the actor), through his tech company Thorn, tried to introduce total surveillance of all EU citizens through undemocratic and corrupt methods.

First, Ashton Kutcher convinced the EU Commission that they could scan everything on an EU citizen’s phone or computer (messages, photos, emails, phone calls, all of it) for child sexual abuse material without, at the same time, looking at the content of other types of communication.

And then?

And then EU Commissioner Ylva Johansson presented the legislative proposal called Chat Control, which aimed to scan everything on all EU citizens' phones and computers (including conversations in end-to-end-encrypted messaging services). The message from the Commission was: we will only search for child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

And then?

And then experts from all over the world explained to her that the kind of scanning she was talking about (as Ylva described it: a drug-sniffing dog that can detect illegal content in a message without reading the message) simply cannot be done safely, and that Chat Control would mean the end of privacy and pose a security threat to all Europeans. Ylva responded with: “what about the children?”

And then?

And then it was revealed that Thorn, the organization founded by Ashton Kutcher and which had been lobbying for Chat Control from the beginning, was selling the kind of scanning technology that could be used for Chat Control – despite being registered as a charity organization in the EU’s lobbying registry.

And then?

And then it was revealed that Thorn, together with the EU Commission, had also started and funded “children’s rights organizations” that had supported the proposal. What appeared publicly to be charitable organizations were in fact lobby groups.

And then?

And then it was revealed that Europol wanted unlimited access and wanted to use the scanning for more than just child abuse crimes, saying that all data – also unfiltered and innocent material – should be stored because it “could at some point be useful to law enforcement”.

And then?

And then it was revealed that employees at Europol had joined Thorn, to lobby their old colleagues.

And then?

And then politicians in Brussels wanted to exempt themselves from the scanning.

And then?

And then the European Parliament, in an almost historic consensus, voted against the proposal and called Chat Control nothing but mass surveillance. As one of the members of the parliament said: “The Commission wasn’t focusing on protecting children but wanted mass surveillance.”

And then?

And then The Council of the EU (law proposals must go through both the Parliament and the Council), after three years of negotiation, finally reached a common position on Chat Control. The requirement for mandatory scanning (including end-to-end encrypted messaging services) was removed, which is a major victory, but several problematic elements remain in the Council's position. For instance, the Council wants to demand ID Control to use messaging services (including end-to-end encrypted).

And then?

And then, in 2026 the final negotiations began, between the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the Council of the EU. At the same time, the European Commission is working on a Plan B, through the initiative Going Dark/ProtectEU, where they once again try to force total surveillance (this time organized crime is the excuse) on the citizens of the EU.

And then?

Works for me.

[Mullvad.net @mullvadnet]

The UK has announced plans to fast-track legislation requiring “age verification for VPN use”. The correct term, however, is not age verification but identity verification.

A law like this would require everyone to identify themselves in order to use a VPN. This would pose a risk to whistleblowers, violate human rights, and represent yet another step toward an authoritarian society.

@msfv___ @GrapheneOS @adbjunkie @Canada Saying "I don’t have to prove anything." is crazy when talking about a trusted project that Edward Snowden supports, and how it's supposedly insecure and a borderline scam.
I thought claims had to be backed up with evidence.

@ReiMikadoVT Are they layered properly? The order often matters.
Would help to see what you have.

"I wanted these facts to be clear." What facts? And what was cleared? Nothing is verified, and nothing is explained.

[Neko @NekoRuns]

Alright, I'll bite:

Don't think there's any way to prove or disprove the first part. We'll leave that.

"the files and links that showed up were looked into." By who? When?

[Lacari @Lacari]

I want to clear up two things while I’m getting my shit together.

I’m only into 2D hentai content. I don’t watch, seek out, or download real-world 3D porn, and I DO NOT engage with or support anything involving minors in any form.

After the stream, the files and links that showed up were looked into. There is NO illegal material in them. The problem was how bad some of the titles looked and the fact that I didn’t shut things down fast enough on stream.

This is on me. I handled everything poorly, I get why people are troubled, and I should’ve taken it more seriously in the moment. I’m owning up to that, and I wanted these facts to be clear. Thanks for allowing me this time so I can focus on fixing myself.

[Neko @NekoRuns]

"I should’ve taken it more seriously in the moment." Yes, you shouldn't have been supposedly deleting files, and cresting new files, and acting weird when other files were shown.

"I’m owning up to that". You've owned up to basically nothing.
