Almost like it was a non-starter. Who could have possibly foreseen that?
Lol, they think we can’t see throught their “we need to destroy [insert any privacy right] to save the children” bullshit. Never mind the fact it was never about saving kids in the first place.
Meanwhile in the US, we have our MAGAT senators saying out loud that KOSA will censor LGBTQ content on the internet.
We can see through it but most people either can’t or just don’t care. Its barely talked about, I only ever see articles about this posted on here/Reddit, I never see or hear any discussion about it anywhere else, and there never seem to be any articles on the front page of BBC etc
Lol, zombie government
the government will reportedly confirm that communications regulator Ofcom will only require companies to introduce back-door access when a technology is developed that is capable of scanning networks in such a manner.
So never then?
Edit: This is a surprise as I was reading articles earlier today claiming that this was almost guaranteed to pass. It’s another can kick like the age verification law.
any article claiming that was written by a moron, they’ve been trying and failing to do this for a decade. It’s not the first attempt, it’s not gonna be the last. It’ll always fail
I was amazed they still tried to get it through until now. This Sunak government has been criticised (rightly so) for getting nothing done.
Why make a big song and dance about something that experts and companies were saying was impossible, just to have to cancel it.
It highlights once again how truly useless and incompetent the tory party is at the minute.
Same thing with the REUL bill
Every gdamn time, they go to the mat the say ok not this time. One day, they’ll say f’it were going to do it anyway and we’ll have to protest…
It feels like one of their goal is to prevent protesting at all. They’ve already passed laws making protesting more difficult, good luck trying to organise one at all a few years after this finally does pass and they’re scanning everyones messages
1917 is unlikely to repeat
The sole purpose of a representative is to be re-elected. They will say and do whatever will keep their followers beleiving and voting, or, what will get them personal wealtb & power.
Thank goodness. I wonder how many such proposals there will be before one actually gets passed
