The UK wants the ability to stop companies from patching vulnerabilities

So to sum recent developments up. UK wants to eliminate end to end encryption and the sbility to keep software zero days unpatched.

Because children, as usual. Of course if we could do the bottom line they’ll likely harm a lot more people incl. children this way, than help. But it’s hard to track as they also do the tracking.

It’s an interesting problem what one does as a vendor in this case. UK is not a small country. Recently EU voted in replaceable batteries for mobiles. And people say “you can’t abandon EU and you don’t want to do separate products for UK, so that’s basically worldwide”. UK is similar. Too big to leave. Companies can’t stop encryption and patches worldwide.

Absolutely mad... Saw this and thought - what the hell. I have to say moving away is starting to feel really tempting
