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.

Star Wars.
Not Episode 4. Not A New Hope.
And yes: Han shoots first.
Here's the 50th Anniversary Re-release Trailer.
THIS is the Star Wars product I've been waiting to spend my money on.
The UK’s electoral system is broken. Once a government is elected, it can break every promise it made, and the Prime Minister can govern almost like a dictator, while the public has no meaningful way to hold them to account.
People argue endlessly over Labour, the Conservatives, Reform and the rest, but they’re all basically the same product with different packaging. None of them are offering the one reform the country actually needs: real direct democracy, like Switzerland’s. There, the people, not just the politicians, get the final say. Citizens can trigger votes on major issues and block unpopular policies before they’re forced on us.
That is the change Britain desperately needs. Everything else is just rearranging the deckchairs.
