This is the most absurd proposed UK legislation I've seen yet https://9to5mac.com/2023/08/24/apple-security-updates-ban/

"Under the latest plans, tech companies would need to notify the British government before rolling out a security fix but might be refused permission if it blocks a vulnerability that’s being exploited by security services…"

Utterly ridiculous.

@retr0id is it somehow April Fools in Britain or did their government just completely gave up and turned into the circus everyone saw them as?

@Amikke I'm pretty sure they're including deliberately ridiculous parts so that they can later roll the worst of them back to give the illusion of being reasonable
