Ok a more serious comment about the UK Online Safety bill. Back in summer of 2021, when Apple proposed to build client-side “content scanning” into iPhones, Alex Stamos and I worried publicly that some countries would use it for purposes far beyond child abuse imagery. And here in 2023 we now have examples.
@matthew_d_green There's no doubt that US and UK authorities are working together to regain control. Think of the blow they were dealt following the Snowden revelations and the subsequent dash for encryption. For them the internet is going dark and they want to change the dynamics.
