🚨UK Lawmakers Demand Spyware on Every UK Phone Conservative peer John Nash and Labour MP Jess Phillips are leading a cross-party push to force scanning software onto every phone and tablet in Britain—including those already owned, via mandatory updates. The tools would inspect every photo, video and livestream for child sexual abuse material, including AI-generated images, then block or blur matches. Officials insist this protects children and can be done without privacy damage because nothing leaves the device. Detecting the illegal content still requires examining everything else first. Even if it catches some abusers, it still plants a permanent state examiner inside the private camera roll on the phone you own.
