True, which is why organizations like @privacy exist, and why you should support them.

They do the research and the lobbying. That's worth your support.

@FrankauLux @privacy

We are not talking about the same thing: you are talking about phones, I am talking about preventing the installation of security patches.

Defeating the security of one individual phone is one thing, preventing the updates of hundreds, or millions, of services is something else entirely.

 

"Among other things, [the UK Government] want to be able to prevent companies from providing important security updates and ensure these powers would have a global effect." from @privacy

Excuse me, for just a moment, BUT WHAT THE ABSOLUTE F****ING F***?? 🤣

Yeah, no. Not going to happen.
