The war on privacy and encryption goes on. This time in the UK. Under the “Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill”, lawmakers now want client-side scanning on every phone and tablet.
The lawmakers write: “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.”

The year is 2031. Every phone comes with government mandated, pre-installed spyware scanning everyone incoming and outgoing message. VPNs are illegal now and special police units track and stop anyone with unauthorized account. Random stops and phone searches make sure no one is using modded ROMs. Failure to unlock phone for police is punishable with long prison terms.
People seeking privacy (i.e. criminals) resort to drastic measures to evade those new rules. Unlocked phones are smuggled through the channel but it’s to risky to carry them around or even to connect them to the network. “Privacy phones” are usually carried in the ass and only taken out for a quick PornHub session or to post illegal meme to lemmy. ROM updates are only traded underground and getting the images is more dangerous than trading drugs. Police informants are everywhere. Truly, the darkest days for privacy online.
On the bright side pedophilia was completely eradicated and all the children are safe now.
You forgot the part where the authorities now have to routinely search every child’s ass for “privacy phones” but thankfully children are finally safe from pedophiles.

It’s the rfid and GPS trackers installed in the genitals starting in 2035 that really does it

Those come bound with both, government and criminal malware.
