BREAKING: The UK is drafting a law to scan every photo, video and message on every phone in the country.
Tech CEOs who refuse to implement this could face up to 5 years in prison.
The proposal would force companies to build device level scanners that inspect content before encryption.
That means:
• Every image scanned
• Every message inspected
• Every video analyzed
All directly on your phone.
Governments and companies pushing these safety” systems already have a terrible track record protecting user data.
Last month, Europe’s new age verification app, promoted as a way to "keep children safe," was hacked in under 2 minutes.
In another case, over 70,000 IDs and selfies linked to online verification systems were exposed in a major breach.
Now the UK wants even deeper access directly inside your device.
Once governments force surveillance tools into every phone, they can expand what gets monitored at any time.
The government knows this. The only way to enforce it is to make VPNs illegal, which then isn’t enforceable,
This is a slippery slope that’ll end with the government wants to scan each and every little bit of data on our phones.
You cannot hate the UK "enough" anymore.
You cannot hate Keir Starmer, the entire UK government, and the controlled "opposition" (Reform, Conservatives) "enough" anymore.
The UK is drafting a law where every device will be monitored 24 hours a day by scanning your messages, photos, and videos before you even encrypt them. This law is the slippery slope of "Think of the Children" from last year. Every Government wants this. https://t.co/YHYkKBxylx
Keir Starmer uses auto-deleting WhatsApp messages.
He is also pushing a law that bans under-16s from using auto-deleting messages.
Privacy for me.
Surveillance for thee.
🚨 NEW: Under-16s in the UK will be banned from using disappearing messages, romantic AI chatbots and livestreaming as part of Keir Starmer's social media ban
