'Online Safety Bill', the UK parliament undermined the privacy, security, and freedom of all internet users - eviltoast

The U.K. Parliament has passed the Online Safety Bill (OSB), which says it will make the U.K. “the safest place” in the world to be online. In reality, the OSB will lead to a much more censored, locked-down internet for British users. The bill could empower the government to undermine not just the privacy and security of U.K. residents, but internet users worldwide.

    Yea, I am aware of that and also the chatcontroll proposal but it’s not the first time they and indivitual member states attempt shit like that and so far the european court saved us from the worse parts, it’s certainly more functional than our courts in Austria and a decent enough way to enforce that european human rights agreement. We will probably get a conservative and nazi coilition in Austria once again after the next election and I am thankful of everything that stands in the way of those morrons even if it’s just a little bit!
