How Apple Could Lose Millions of Customers Because of This UK Law

Good LORD. The UK is about to pass a law that aims to break the laws of mathematics! Someone alert the house of Lords once Corrie is over.

Thank you so much for watching! Hope you enjoyed it!

If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)

If you want to know HOW I make my videos including gear, lighting, all the tiddly bits that connect it all together, (with cheaper alternatives and kit I used to use), I've listed each item, what it's great at, and why I use it on the gear section of my website here:

Otherwise: here's a quick list of some of my kit without descriptions from the above link:

Camera: Sony A7siii

Main Lens: Sony 24mm f/1.4 G-Master

Secondary Lens: Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 G-Master

Main Light: Aputure 120d mkii

Shotgun Microphone: Sennheiser MKH-416

Really useful SSD: SanDisk Extreme Portable 2TB

While the UK is no longer subject to the ECJ ruling on the legality of this law, we are still subject to the ruling of the ECHR, who have ruled on similar matters in 2021, and deemed this kind of surveillance to be illegal due to the inability to protect "against arbitrariness and the risk of abuse" and infinging on the right to privacy.

This law will definitely be challenged in the ECHR and could also could potentially be brought to the UK supreme court as going against the Data Protection Act/GDPR which would be interesting.
In short I dont think this law is going anywhere other than the Tories using it to bang their drum about "being prevented from taking action by foreign powers. Blah blah blah, wahh wahh we cant spy on our citizens :(" until they get voted out.

14:49 “… bad guys will eventually find a way in…”
For instance, by working for the government or becoming members of the Parliament and passing laws like this one.

We don't need an investigatory act, we need an investigate Tories act...

Thanks for the comments about Boomers. From a 70 year old Linux user and programmer. Much appreciated. 😄

The majority of indecent images of kids are taken by teenagers sending their own images to other teens.
They were doing this on an encrypted service, but fear not, soon child abusers will be able to use legally mandated security flaws to access them too. This literally makes your child more vulnerable to abuse.

This may have bigger ramifications. The Five Eyes countries are not prevented by US laws (apart from the US itself) in snooping on US citizens. And since they share data collected with each other, this is a back door for US monitoring its own citizens.

When Malcolm Turnball suggested something similar in Australia and someone pointed out that it wasn’t compatible with the laws of mathematics his response was that the only laws that apply in Australia are the laws of Australia.

I actually snorted at '800 shades of grey'. It's been fun seeing you get properly involved in UK politics, scandals etc over the last few years. I can tell you've put effort into truly understanding things.

4:55 — *“The U.K. government isn't worried about the danger coming knocking on their citizen's doors; No, they're like, 'I **_am_** the danger.' ”*
    Or, "I am the one who knocks, " if you will…

We are NOT OK here in the UK. SEND HELP!!

I am reminded of the MP who was asked if he even knew what email was. Of course, he said, I use it all the time, I have a secretary who does it all for me.

Having (all) law enforcement (on the planet) have keys is a bit like having a copy of everyone's house keys at every police station on the planet, and also the police station holds them digitally so you don't necessarily need physical access to the police station to swipe a copy. Plus this whole "we need to spy on you" act only ends with the logical extreme of "we need you to wear this voice-recording monitoring bracelet to make sure you're not discussing terrorism", because otherwise all the surveillance in the world is defeated by two people just meeting in person.

there is nothing to stop the smarter crooks from using their own end-to-end encrypted software.

I like how I had zero interest in a topic and you got me interested enough in it to watch through a whole video. None of this concerns me directly (I'm Finnish), but now I know something I didn't know a little while ago. Thanks.

I agree that "lifelong education " and keeping skills and knowledge updated is essential for teaachers etc and especially politicians... imagine if politicians had to take competence exams on a regular basis...certainly before every election😂

[Doglover-uq]

I actually have nothing to add, you have covered the subject perfectly well

Good work Sir

I feel like the bill would make the child abusers in this scenario more dangerous as if they secretly spied on someones messages they could go 'oh look, a child is home alone at(adress)'

[carlose]

Basically, the flawed notion of "If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear."

[chrisosborne-wg]

Our government couldn't find their own backdoors using a map.

In addition to technical competency education, I think politicians also need to be held accountable beyond the ballot box.
