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.

I am drafting a response to a journalist regarding Israel's abuse of the flotilla activists
Gmail's AI is telling me that using the words
"Israel's genocide in Gaza"
could be "improved" by replacing "genocide" with "actions."
Sorry tech overlords. You'll have to try harder
@joetruuu@TogoresMTG Yes, but it's not really a problem outside the tempo decks. And they only exist because of daze. Whenever tempo gets a card advantage engine, it breaks legacy.
Frog, Ragavan, EI, W6 and Dreadhorde were all banned bc they gave the daze decks card advantage.
What if there was a way for a business to transform any conduct it disliked into a felony, harnessing the power of the state to threaten anyone who acted in a way that displeased the company with a long prison sentence and six-figure fines?

@Anheroic13@Ryan_on_cEDH Yes. Take a look at this, especially the part about private information.
Tldr: you can't lie about info that's open and available to both players, but everything else, like what cards you have or what you're planning to do, is fair game.

@nr_ygo@astralsflame I mean, Stock Up is a staple played as a four-of in standard, pioneer, modern, legacy and vintage. AW is the current standard flavor of the week.
@set71374 @Shryke_Irsei @leodddd@DrivetheTacos@dannithe2st@nightmaresmane Spindown dice are a special kind of D20s where the numbers are ordered rather than evenly distributed. They're often used to track life in Magic, since you start at 20.
