The “Nude” Ultimatum: Privacy is Dead (the.unknown-universe.co.uk)

The UK government is giving Apple and Google three months to build on-device scanning infrastructure. This isn't about child safety; it's about the end of private devices and the death of the "nothing to hide" fallacy.

Nothing has gone through parliament yet. That's not to say that a majority of twats couldn't be found there. But crucially I think this is not something a floundering PM can decree on his own authority. So far this threat is about as believable as any statement by the incumbent American president on Iran.
