the bit Starmer isnt telling you is... this sort of device technology is called Client-Side Scanning.
It is already built into the Ofcom regulated Online Safety Act through “accredited technology” notices. The EU has been pushing similar rules through its Child Sexual Abuse Regulation, known as “Chat Control”.
It basically means phone companies and platforms can be pushed to scan messages, images and content BEFORE you send them, then either allowing them to be sent or blocking/reporting them.
Once the precedent is set, "to protect children", it can easily be widened to block whatever government decides is “harmful”.
And that's how you go from child safety to state approved speech.
@ForBritain This is the truth!
What is sad though, is that in a sane world, the public would already have risen up, thrown out the politicians and hung them from lamp posts.
Sadly, what we see is.... nothing. The media says nothing, the public says nothing, and the few that do, are protrayed as crazy childporn men.
The only small comfort in all of this, is that the EU will collapse. Sadly it can take decades if not close to a century, before that happens.
@ForBritain I do hope to live to see the EU collapse.
