The amendment text specifies that any “relevant device supplied for use in the UK must have installed tamper-proof system software which is highly effective at preventing the recording, transmitting (by any means, including livestreaming) and viewing of CSAM using that device.”

It further defines “relevant devices” as “smartphones or tablet computers which are either internet-connectable products or network-connectable products for the purposes of section 5 of the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act 2022.”

Under this clause, manufacturers, importers, and distributors would be legally required to ensure that every internet-connected phone or tablet they sell in the UK meets this “CSAM requirement.”

When legislation completely ignores reality. And also when legislation that is a knee jerk reaction fails to consider the immediate ramifications of their law that will pretty much stop the sale of all tech because of the literally impossible requirement. How fucking stupid are these chucklefucks?

I have a feeling that custom ROMs will get a lot more popular if those idiots manage to pass this.

It's like a constant attack from all sides. No wonder people grow tired of fighting and just check out.
