Isn’t this part of the same amendment that will make government spyware mandatory on all devices? So does that mean that part passed as well? VPNs are not the most concerning part here yet that’s the only bit that seems to be getting reported
The “CSAM requirement” is that any relevant device supplied for use in the UK
must have installed tamper-proof system software which is highly effective at
preventing the recording, transmitting (by any means, including livestreaming)
and viewing of CSAM using that device
So that means mandatory spyware and effectively makes alternative OS’s/unlocked bootloaders illegal
Are Linux, BSD, etc. about to become illegal in the UK? Good luck with that. It certainly seems to make GrapheneOS and all other privacy-preserving phone OSs illegal.
I wonder if we can get around that. Tamper proof in software? So device comes with Windows and you can’t uninstall their crap It’s tamper proof! But you can just remove Windows.
