Knowing the UK populace, this shit will get a lot of support. Gotta spy on those climate activists, Muslims, black people, south Asians, LGBTQ+ groups, trade unions, feminist groups, anti-war groups, and any other subversive elements in society.

And the worst thing it will change literally NOTHING for terrorism and child abuse. Terrorists will just use PGP and only honest people will get spied by political pigs.

It has been for years. But since Two-Tier Kier has arrived on the scene he appears to using 1984 as a how-to manual.

However it’s not ALL bad. It has made a lot of people that until now didn’t care about data privacy start doing what they can to keep their data out of government reach.

Until the Apple ADP fiasco I was all-in on iCloud. Now I don’t use any of it. I use local encrypted storage with dummy partitions and passwords so I can give those if i’m ever forced and they still get fuck all.

Yeah, good job. The more people secure from government, the less control they have. Privacy is a value we have to keep fighting for, don’t forget that.
