I'll be very surprised if Apple compromises on this issue. I'll be similarly surprised if Google accepts that kind of compromise. Few things would surprise me about what Facebook is willing to do, but I think this would shock me if fb was willing to go for what you are talking about.
The world is run by technology companies now. Not governments. Governments haven't caught on to this yet, at least officially.
But the bottom line about law is that the law is whatever Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, and Amazon says it is.
That's not the most comforting thought in the world, but that's how it is. And it's sort of okay for now because all of those companies are currently run by idealists. God help us when they are not.
For right now though, there isn't a chance in hell that Cameron's ideas will have any traction. He's just saying things that will win him some support from a certain segment of the population.
