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.

2/2 This finding seems to suggest that lobbying is open to parody unless it’s from a Jewish lobby group, in which case any comment reinforces an ‘antisemetic trope’.
Does this finding suggest that Jewish lobby groups are antisemitic by definition 🤔

@fOx1257067 Don’t be so young. This was perfectly normal in the 70/80s.

@rachelrwithers Bragg's office knows exactly what it's doing. They're trying to make extreme RW views the new normal.

@ash_twtz Mint since 2007. Before that Red Hat, Mandrake or Deb.

@GemmaTognini Yeah, it's amazing how that bloke gets away with that kind of bullshit.

@swilkinsonbc @gbsumudflotilla Love Spain, boycott the Basque Country if the Ertzaintza are going to behave like that. I think they need tourists more than Zionists.
