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.

    I see your point and agree. I use online banking and I trust that my bank doesn’t want to compromise my account by adding some back-door. Having said that I have no doubt that should and government agency request access to my financial data, they would do it in a blink of an eye.

    Yes, the law is a bad one and people should voice their protests, but I’m afraid that nothing will ultimately change and we’ll have more bad laws in the future.
