Oof, while the EU pressures Apple to actually improve their products with USB-C and replaceable batteries, the British government fumbles again. Seriously, E2E is a basic requirement for most companies and should be standard across the board. All this clamoring to try to detect CSAM just stinks like government surveillance and a threat to everyone's privacy, and the US is no better.
This is a case where companies might just resort to cutting the UK out of the market entirely, because this has unacceptable implications for literally the entire rest of the world.
That's exactly what it is, control and surveillance. They don't like that the public have stuff that isn't accessable. I wonder if they'll complain when they realise it'll be harder for them to hide their shadiness if they get rid of E2EE. Then again, they know they're shady, so it feels like a case of, we're shady so you must be too. So now we want to see everything you do so we can watch and control you better.
It's not about the children, governments pull the children or terrorism card because people see those words and don't think to look deeper, cause if you go against the policy you must hate children and want the country to burn!
