According to an article spotted today, the U.K. wants to ban apple updates outright at will at their notice.
Here’s how it would work, according to 9to5 mac. Apple would need to notify the government of the U.K. prior to a patch. If the government feels necessary to do so, it can “block” (quoted) the update which could be a bigger problem. They could say it was for surveilance purposes, but this has been a 6 year battle which you can read more about within the article.
The article is titled It’s not just iMessage: UK government could ban Apple security updates and I’d love to see how this is going to end up working in the long run.

There’s the U.K. government for you. This is talked about on TSB today, which should be released today. Its earmed the moron award, as we tried that with Sopa and Pippa many years ago, but the U.K. seems to be taking a book like we did and haven’t learned anything. Would love to see how this goes for software like IOS and Windows.
Hmmm.
Security updates government controled?
And aftter everyone gets hacked into because they are not happy well?
Saying that, I’d like to see control on windows security updates where the chances of breakage is high.
