The UK wants to be able to monitor in real time its citizens through its devices

At the beginning of the 21st century, we have witnessed the beginning of an asymmetric war against an enemy that has been able to enter our society. In order to fight, governments decided to invest heavily in their respective national intelligence agencies. It was at that time, when they completely lost respect for the privacy of their citizens .

We developed and continue to develop surveillance programs designed to work with our electronic devices, and it was not until a few years ago that we realized this . Since then, we have ceased to be so permissive with our rulers, and we have begun to be somewhat more critical. However, it seems that certain countries like the United Kingdom have not yet understood how important it should be for them to protect the lives of those living on their territory.

The UK government has no problem saying it can spy on its citizens

Recently, a draft of the UK government has been leaked, in which various proposals are made for the supposed improvement of national security. These include the possibility that the government can access encrypted applications such as WhatsApp, or even the government could monitor in real time those citizens they consider suspicious. Needless to say, no one knows the criteria that would allow such practices if the measures were approved.

Companies like Apple, have previously defended the privacy of their users, even refusing to collaborate with government organizations. Luckily for us, this is not going to change by many laws imposed by the UK.
