In the physical world, the limits are clear: no democratic government is permitted to monitor citizens in their homes without a court order, even to prevent domestic violence or child sexual abuse. In the digital world, though, the answer remains unresolved. Child safety advocates believe that governments must be able to unlock private messages, while tech companies and privacy activists see a smokescreen for mass government surveillance.
The law is in no way fixed and passing it will still be a terrible thing for a country that claims it wants to be a tech colossus.
Westminster hasn’t blinked, they intend to pass a law which they then intend to not prosecute. Selectively enforced laws are awful.
This government remains awful, the bill remains awful, and the sooner all of westminster can be shut down the better. We will only be safe if we can free the country from the wankers in Westminster palace completely and entirely.
Ban westminster, not encryption!
Direct rule from King Charles III would probably be better than the current government
He’ll promise not to cut off their heads, but not enforce that law.
