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.

    I think the goal being to get linux to where it needs to be is better than it being a variation of a google product.

    It is not out of the realm of possibility if gOS got a decent market share that google could get some bullshit corrupt court to block or take it over.

    They have said AOSP wont bave the third party blocking but it very much could be forced through. What then gOS stays on an old AOSP?

      idk why you think its somehow a much more monumental task to support something that already works (re:gos and aosp) vs building something entirely from scratch

      linux needs to focus on becoming as secure as aosp/gos first before even considering being on a phone

        I didnt say it was a more difficult task, I think it has more risk and involves aggressive third parties.
