> Lawmakers in the United Kingdom are proposing amendments to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill that would require nearly all smartphones and tablets to include built-in, unremovable surveillance software.

> The proposal appears under a section titled “Action to promote the well-being of children by combating child sexual abuse material (CSAM).”

So they only believe that surveillance on smartphones and tables, and surveillance on desktops isn't necessary?

This will also include said lawmakers too right?

Where are all the Europeans gloating about privacy and their "regulations" while their governments are basically erasing actual privacy and free speech?

This would make it illegal to sell a phone or tablet with an unlocked/unlockable bootloader, wouldn't it.
