Everyone in the tech industry facepalms almost every time legislators try to pontificate on technology, but the British government appears to be trying to set a new record. After putting iMessage and FaceTime at risk, the government is now suggesting that it might ban some Apple security updates.
Next step: require all security patches to be submitted to the UK government for review before disclosing it to any other government or to the public.
A most favored nation clause, but for security. Great… just what we needed.
