  • Usually, an impact study is made before such type of laws are made:

    • if this law is enacted, how much will it cost to the manufacturers to update their factory settings?
    • how will this be impacted on the device cost in the UK compared to other markets?
    • how many users will get stuck when losing the unique ID of the device, what are the recovery procedures, how costly is it to end users?
    • how many users will be protected by the measure and what cost for society does it represent?
    • how many users will set a dumb password anyhow and what is the cost for society?

    I’d be curious to see the impact study, as many of those are actually botched.
