“Among other things, [the UK Government] want to be able to prevent companies from providing important security updates and ensure these powers would have a global effect.” from @privacy

Not going to happen ?
Out of curiosity, how to you intend to prevent them ?
French gov decided they had power on your phone, passed the law, and nothing happened to prevent them…We are not talking about the same thing: you are talking about phones, I am talking about preventing the installation of security patches.
Defeating the security of one individual phone is one thing, preventing the updates of hundreds, or millions, of services is something else entirely.
my point has nothing to do with either phone or computer. My point is that when a governement wants to pass a law that will reduce personnal freedom, there is very little you or me can do to prevent it. Examples abunds.
feel free to point me to counter-examples.True, which is why organizations like @privacy exist, and why you should support them.
They do the research and the lobbying. That’s worth your support.
