alt Hacker News> 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?

Not to stand up for bad laws, but what is wrong with everyone in the comments? On what planet would they not have considered all angles? The peanut gallery has gotten ridiculously loud of late.
Surveillance and nothing else? According to the sponsors this is really about the capacity to plant false evidence on protestors.
