UK Proposes 24/7 Phone Surveillance & VPN Age Verification

---

---

The UK just proposed three extreme surveillance measures: mandatory 24/7 scanning software on every phone and tablet, age verification for all VPN users with website tracking, and labeling encryption developers as "hostile actors." This comes after 500,000 people petitioned against age verification, and lawmakers responded by making things worse. Here's what's actually in the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill, why it matters globally, and what you can do.
