Legislation? Enforcement?
Back in the good old days you had Trading Standards who could track and sieze unsafe products, bogus foreign imports and the like.
Where are they now?
Just when their workload has increased exponentially they have been cut to the bone and much of their work has been offloaded to the Citizens Advice Bureau.
Legislate that devices must be secure and updated for 5 years? Who is going to enforce this and block the import of non-conforming products?
We don't even have a police force to enforce most of the current criminal law.
Customs has been cut to the bone as well (fine if you only have to worry about non-EU imports, but.....).
Who is going to enforce and police?
Biting the hand that feeds IT
