They won't need to, given the present situation where they have a special unit to monitor anyone's internet usage they will target the user.
They will either block your internet and possibly issue a big fine for failing to comply with their new laws, maybe even push for a prison sentence.
The government has already made it clear they consider anyone who fails to comply with their age verification law to be a dangerous right wing extremist and a danger to children.
Rather ironic for a government that protects rape gangs and refers to the victims, some as young as 12 years of age, as "little sluts".
At least Vance has stopped them accessing peoples Apple data according to one report.
The provisions for targeting users are quite limited, there are plenty of existing laws to do that already. (beyond scope of thread)
Companies will get big fines, more likely to be successful in conjunction with another act that once its passed will make it easier to charge corporations with criminal acts.
The Government never had access to peoples apple date. They tried to get access and Apple went to the courts, then withdrew their encrypted cloud data service from the UK. (Rightly so). All Vance did was apply pressure for the UK to drop the matter, and we aren't sure if that has worked because no one can talk about the 'order' that tried to force Apple to break its own encryption.
As to the secret internet watcher thing, still waiting on more solid details to come out.
Our Government, Like all labour governments before them, are big on Nanny State and taking control of well... everything. They took an already awful piece of legislation that the Tories where forming and made it worse.
