EU Exempts Apple Watch and AirPods [and iPhone] From Battery Removal Requirement [due to water resistance & safety]
The “right to repair” folk will be upset, but here’s a further thought:
If “water resistance” is legitimate grounds to sidestep “right to repair”, perhaps “hacker & abuse resistance” can be valid grounds to sidestep “interoperability”?

Digital Sovereignty is a Clusterfuck
Digital Sovereignty has exactly [the same problem that Cybersecurity has / always has had:](https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/how-to-think-clearly-about-cybersecurity-v2/11901908 ) it is an abstract concept which has been co-opted by the state, the state having mistaken it for a political and administrative goal that it is in their gift to create and bless, rather than an emergent property of a properly fostered, educated and equipped citizenry.
In case this is unclear: it’s the difference between *“being equipped with armies to wage conflict”* versus *“having a healthy population capable of withstanding conflict”*; it’s a phenomenon you see when there is a pandemic and suddenly the government has to stop waging war [by other means](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_von_Clausewitz ) and instead tell people to *please wash their hands* – to stop pursuing a [Great Firewall](https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/digital-services-act ) and instead tell people to install anti-malware.
In respect of digital sovereignty: there is also a risk of jingoism and political capture: digital sovereignty is the capability to “go it alone in the wilderness” – except that the internet is a global wilderness and if you want to “go it alone” you risk turning into China with a huge, expensive, yet permeable firewall around you and an isolated population.
Basically: Digital Sovereignty as-discussed is largely analogous to Brexit.
See how that worked out.
Instead what *actually* needs to be done for digital sovereignty is: sensible individual and national provision a-la *“disaster preparedness”* – but that is far less appealing to nationalist drum beating / *“let’s all hate the Americans”* / *“what do you mean we have to invest in our own neckbeard technology startups rather than we tell them what to make?”*
Digital sovereignty is a clusterfuck. It’s the wrong approach, by the wrong people, captured by the wrong political interests, in pursuit of the wrong goal, all being done badly and with a bunch of cheerleaders on the sidelines who think it’s actually an effective proxy-war against Surveillance Capitalism.
What we actually need is:<li>online digital citizens freely preferring to use</li><li>locally resilient infrastructure in a global context</li><li>with built-in disaster preparedness</li>
Put differently: <li>we need everyone to want to do ISO27001</li><li>of their own accord</li><li>and for their own benefit</li><li>and with a globally politically-aware threat model</li><li>otherwise <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law">Goodhart’s Law</a> will kill the entire endeavour</li>
If you don’t take this approach then you’re either:<li>telling a bunch of fat organisations to <a href="https://www.digitalhealth.net/2026/01/nhs-suppliers-required-to-prove-cyber-security-compliance/">nerd harder and expecting it to improve matters where there are “boots on the ground”</a>, or else:</li><li><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-holds-china-state-affiliated-organisations-and-individuals-responsible-for-malicious-cyber-activity">pretending that central government can do anything concrete</a> to fix the actual risks without turning the nation into a <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c624330lg1ko">Digital Hermit Kingdom</a></li>

“Signal President Meredith Whittaker threatens again to pull the encrypted messaging app out of the UK”
Signal will not compromise user privacy in order to satisfy the UK Government. They could withdraw from UK app-stores, but further: they could block any account with an associated “+44” phone number – myself included.
Such a “nuclear option” would beneficially put the burden of responsibility upon the UK Government without background narrative nitpicking about “side loading”, “1st amendment”, and other nerd distractions.

It will be interesting to see if Britain’s politicians maintain their taste for self-harm through isolationism by banning X for whatever reason
The internet is speech and if you take the position that “*bad speech is harm*” rather than “*bad speech demands good speech*“, the only effective option is a kind of Digital Brexit where you block your citizens from participation in the bigger world.
The UK Government will simply have to start censoring internet access for Britons. Or it could give up on the pretence of global control… but that would look like weakness.

Someone asked me to describe the circumstances which brought about the Online Safety ActAbout a decade ago a bunch of porn company executives who want to make additional advertising streams of revenue, found common cause with evangelical anti-porn Christians and prescriptive post second wave radical feminists, inflated by a cohort of ageing boomers who are scared of technological change and some reflexively anti-capitalist (and possibly anti-semitic) middle class do-gooders with a battlecry of “won’t somebody please think of the children!?!”.
They decided that a proportionate response to weak parenting skills of the masses (not themselves of course, never themselves, especially not the ones who had children who committed suicide) was to force the government to obligate platforms to spy on all the world’s conversations – which of course would solve all the problems – a position with which GCHQ and the NSA happily agreed.
So they drafted a document describing how they think the internet works and therefore how they think the internet should be fixed, put it through several government committees over the course of several years in order to make sure that it was correct, and then passed it as legislation – on the obvious grounds that the kids would appreciate this and not attempt to circumvent any of the controls.
It turns out that there were a few poorly grounded assumptions in play throughout this process.

London Security Engineering Meetup: Alec Muffett “End to End Encryption: Why You Should Implement It” (May 08, 1800h)> Join us for the May edition of the London Security Engineering meetup at Wise’s London offices!
> We are thrilled to host > **Alec Muffett**> , a distinguished technologist and security consultant with over 30 years of experience in cryptography and security.
I’m going to try something a little more experimental with this presentation, aiming avoid slides and foster a little more audience discussion than the usual “slide deck and slick talk” typical of some meetups; given the nature of the audience my hope is for people who build systems and solutions to come away with a greater understanding of how to shape their code and solutions to build a product with a smaller attack surface and less risk.
If you have questions or issues that you would like to raise, please feel free to post a comment below.

MITRE / CVE is being killed by the Trump GovernmentThis is incalculable harm to coordination of infosec response; via [Brian Krebs](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7318006192021143554/ ):
> MITRE has announced that its funding for the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program and related programs, including the Common Weakness Enumeration Program, will expire on April 16.
> The CVE database is critical for anyone doing vulnerability management or security research, and for a whole lot of other uses. There isn’t really anyone else left who does this, and it’s typically been work that is paid for and supported by the US government, which is a major consumer of this information, btw.
> I reached out to MITRE, and they confirmed it is for real. Here is the contract, which is through the Department of Homeland Security, and has been renewed annually on the 16th or 17th of April.
> […]
> Yosry Barsoum, vice president and director at MITRE’s Center for Securing the Homeland, said:
> “On Wednesday, April 16, 2025, funding for MITRE to develop, operate, and modernize the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE®) Program and related programs, such as the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE™) Program, will expire. The government continues to make considerable efforts to support MITRE’s role in the program and MITRE remains committed to CVE as a global resource.”
