UK House of Lords must be abolished. It's an undemocratic institution, trying to remove the right to have an unlocked computer with an OS under user control.

They're proposing that devices for use in the UK have "tamper-proof system software" that prevents "viewing of CSAM".
It's a noble goal on the surface, but it effectively outlaws devices that don't reliably spy on everything people have on screen. It outlaws open source operating systems and hardware without DRM.
