The war on privacy and encryption goes on. This time in the UK. Under the “Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill”, lawmakers now want client-side scanning on every phone and tablet. The lawmakers write: “Any relevant device supplied for use in the UK must have installed tamper-proof system software which is highly effective at preventing the recording, transmitting (by any means, including livestreaming) and viewing of CSAM using that device.” 1/2

Once again, they use “what about the children”, this time to install state spyware that would continuously scan every action on a phone or tablet and watch everything that is shown on the screen. This will effectively ban end-to-end encrypted communication and open source operating systems like GrapheneOS and forbid that people have administrator rights on their own devices. 2/3

Appealing to the good in people is giving power to the people. Laws, restrictions and control removes the power from the people to fewer dictators falsely called "government". A true government should be in service to the people, not enslave them. Since COVID, most of the government's used this fake pandemic to exert mass surveillance on us. Don't trust them, ever!
