Labour’s spyware plan for phones is straight out of North Korea
"AI could scan every Briton’s messages, video calls and photo albums for ‘verboten activity’
The technological reality of Sir Keir Starmer’s demand is extraordinary: that every smartphone in Britain must be child-locked. That means two enormous changes for every one of us: first, our phones will restrict our internet access to child-friendly content only, and second, government-mandated AI software will constantly monitor our messages, video calls and photo albums for verboten activity.
The only way to escape Starmer’s Great British Firewall and get regular internet access is to undergo a digital ID check on the device to register yourself as an adult user."
Starmer's plans for child-locked devices is a Trojan horse for digital ID
Convenient, perhaps, for a Prime Minister who has failed to get a digital ID system through the front door"
