The government is suggesting that it might ban some Apple security updates. Under the latest plans, tech companies would need to notify the British government before rolling out a security fix but might be refused permission if it blocks a vulnerability that’s being exploited by security services.
In principle it’s dumb, but we’ve also seen big tech companies push updates that are not security related under that guise.

It doesn’t sound like this is regarding non-security related updates though.This seems very strictly towards blocking actual security updates.
