Tech bosses could stop mobile phone theft, say MPs
Tech giants like Apple, Samsung, and Google are being criticized by MPs for not doing enough to prevent mobile phone thefts in the UK. The Science, Innovation, and Technology Committee chair accused these companies of failing to implement technical solutions that could make stolen phones less valuable. With mobile phone thefts on the rise, MPs are urging the government to push for stronger measures like cloud-based blocking to deter thieves and disrupt the market for stolen devices.
