> Lawmakers in the United Kingdom are proposing amendments to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill that would require nearly all smartphones and tablets to include built-in, unremovable surveillance software.

> The proposal appears under a section titled “Action to promote the well-being of children by combating child sexual abuse material (CSAM).”

So they only believe that surveillance on smartphones and tables, and surveillance on desktops isn't necessary?
