The Apple Watch banned in the UK Government

Apple watch series 2 experience use

Some universities and schools have been limiting the use of smart watches in classes to students for some time so that they are not distracted and especially that they cannot use them as an aid in tests or exams that are carried out. Now the news about this ban on use comes from the UK government which does not allow the use of Apple Watch in the meetings and not to the employees of the institution. In principle, this new rule focuses directly on the possibility that some of the workers can record or spy thanks to the clock.

In short, it is quite a ridiculous measure considering the number of mobile devices, tablets, computers and other devices they use and that could be used for espionage and even to be hacked by third parties and obtain confidential information from the UK government. The measure has been under study for some time and now the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, Theresa May, has been in charge of publishing the news.

It is possible that the growing wave of cyber attacks received by governments (mainly Russian attacks) around the world is the reason why this norm is beginning to be imposed in parliaments. Today it is easier to hack devices and obtain confidential information from governments because of the increased use of these in meetings and parliaments, but we have to take into account the security measures and advantages offered by the devices.

At the moment in the United Kingdom the Apple Watch is no longer well receivedNow it remains to be seen how many countries join this initiative that began in some of the most important universities to avoid possible cheating in exams and is gradually expanding in governments around the world for fear of being spied on.
