The “Nude” Ultimatum: Privacy Is Dead
the.unknown-universe.co.uk
The UK government’s ultimatum to Apple and Google is a blueprint for mass surveillance. A warning on why “nothing to hide” won’t protect your digital freedom.

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.

    It’s never been about protecting children, that’s how it’s been sold to the people who aren’t paying attention. That always works, that or “terrorism”.

    Prompt people to fear for their kids, or fear other people, and they can be manipulated. Fear and anger are much stronger than love and compassion, unfortunately.

      Fun fact. Timothy May was also the guy who discovered in 1979 that low level radiation was causing memory errors in computers.
