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.

    This post is acrid; I’m venting. You’ll probably feel attacked.

    I’d like a serious answer, but I’ll probably will only get replies from petulant adult-children though. That’s not a provocative jab; it’s a statement of disgust. The whole consumer side of tech is largely adult-children who fail to take any responsibility. This isn’t even new. From day dot commercial software vendors have been exploiting you.

    the market only has two offerings: Google’s Android and Apple’s <whatever their mobile-computer O.S. is called>

    Does no one see an issue with this? A duopoly? It’s not even one market in one country, it’s nearly a duopoly on a global scale.

    get mad at increasing surveillance by surveillance companies (Google, Apple, et al.)

    scream at internet, for the Nth time

    Just don’t use them.

    but my Discord my Bank apppppp~

    You’re all willingly giving up your autonomy whilst crying about it. Why? Just why? The alternatives aren’t good enough for your pampered ass? Stick an external battery to the pinephone and suddenly it lasts for two days.

    That’s too goofy; what would my friends think of me?

    Install GrapheneOS on models that support it.

    Too many buttons to click; it should all be done for me. Waaaaaa~

    Too hard to escape the Google/Apple ecosystem

    Are you all for real? Pressing buttons on your computer is too hard? Holy shit.
