You better believe it!Ah yes, a new attempt to deflect public attention from the Boris and his crimes. Just like last weekend’s attack on the BBC, etc.

Wait, you don't think the U.S. Government wants to do this? I guess you never heard of the Patriot Act.God, the Brits are lame.
Your argument doesn’t make any sense, because there’s noting stopping governments from forcing companies to scan for whatever they want right now. There’s no need to implement this extremely long-winded work around. As it is now, with a warrant, the government can access all your data on cloud servers. If Apple was able to provide E2E on all your data, no one would be able to access that data except you. They can’t do that now because they are responsible for making sure their servers do not contain CSAM material. If they don’t identify this material that makes them an indirect distributor.
Second, it would also be extremely easy to verify what photos are being flagged by the database by just looking at the photos…. we would know really fast if that was the case. Furthermore the database is maintained and distributed by a private, non-profit missing childrens organization, not the US government or any other government. A copy of the database is kept on your device (where an image is hashed and compared before it’s uploaded to iCloud Photos) and on Apple’s servers, these are compared with the original database to make sure there’s no discrepancies.
And… you really don’t think 3rd party auditors aren’t in place to make sure the database is legit?
When they are part of allied coalitions that conduct these operations, yes, they, actually *do* have a burden to protect innocent children outside the UK. Plenty of UK-led and UK-involved operations have had "collateral damage" that didn't seem to have this "but the children!" anywhere on the list of priorities or risk-benefit.The flaw in your logic is that the UK is not responsible for the safety and welfare for every child in the whole wide world, individual countries must be forced to take responsible action to protect their countries children and if they do not then the UN should intervene or NATO.
In this matter the UK should only look to be protecting it's own children.
In an era, where our liberty is fast being eroded by all sorts of government edicts, executive actions, mandates, censorship, etc., do we really believe that we need the government to be able to look at our private communication Have we learned nothing from the Edward Snowden treasure trove?
I sure hope that the public in the U.K. is informed enough to vigorously oppose the current effort.
I get that encryption makes it harder to identify and find malicious actors. I really do.
But if the price is outlawing E2E encryption, that would be the definition of a Pyrrhic victory.
The conservatives and the Far Right wants all your data.
They want to end safe browsing and messaging.
They want to put all your financial data on public ledgers so they can spy and control your behaviour and feed your personal spending into algos and ads.
But their rich donors and wealthy offshore class will make sure they are the only ones who won't be transparent.
It’s unbelievably sad that there are people that actually trust the government and corporations like this. Wow.Your argument doesn’t make any sense, because there’s noting stopping governments from forcing companies to scan for whatever they want right now. There’s no need to implement this extremely long-winded work around. As it is now, with a warrant, the government can access all your data on cloud servers.

I think the modern parlance is Consocialists now?Communists already done it in China now Conservatives are copying them.
Narrator: They are not.I sure hope that the public in the U.K. is informed enough to vigorously oppose the current effort
Effectively the argument sounds like this:The problem for tech companies that use end to end encryption on their messaging platforms is that for the past number of years the UK authourities have had a number of investigations running involving child related crimes and one of the things that has come out of these investigations is the amount of people involved using messaging systems that use end to end encryption to prevent law enforcement from checking messages, thereby thwarting law enforcement into taking action against those people.
Many have heard the term 'Guns are not the problem, it's the people that use them'. Well defenders of end to end encryption use the same, 'end to end encryption is not the problem, it's the people that use it'.
UK law enforcement want end to end encryption removed because it will enable them to catch people involved in child related crimes who use end to end encryption devices to message one another so they can evade the police.
Vaccines, anyone? Hill life doesn’t seem too attractive to me.The scariest thing the government can ever tell you: We are going to do something to keep you SAFE.
Run for the hills
Things in the UK really are that bad. Our cultish PM is fighting for his political life as lie after lie is exposed.
You can make all the different type of analogies all you want but at the end of the day it boils down to this, what is more important to you, your right to privacy or the right to protect the safety of children?Effectively the argument sounds like this:
Criminals lock their doors, making it hard for police to enter.
Therefore we must outlaw all locks in doors so nobody can lock their door.
You mean, they have learned from the Brexit disaster? One can hope, ... but ...In an era, where our liberty is fast being eroded by all sorts of government edicts, executive actions, mandates, censorship, etc., do we really believe that we need the government to be able to look at our private communication Have we learned nothing from the Edward Snowden treasure trove?
