    the feds are so pissed they can't break encryption, which is essentially just math, are they gonna ban math?

        What is the fundamental difference. Evil men and arrogant idiots might as well be the same thing.

          focusing on the 'they are idiots' fallacy completely misdirects blame and disencourages deeper critical thought. they have a plan and we need one too.

            the real misdirection is focusing on individuals and their blame. The real question is why does UK political system produces these people rule and how do they keep ruling.

              Both parties were captured by the aristocracy/super rich, call them what you will, and they support a total surveillance of a population they obviously fear and want tools to persecute as they see fit. Starmer is a perfect example of this, he's done more damage arguably than the tories did in over a decade. Their betrayal of the country will throw the elections to the far right too, that is the only protest vote against the status quo, and they will affix themselves in power and implement even worse privacy.

              A popular reform party would fix the problems but the aristocracy is too greedy and arrogant for that, thinking they can control a far right party or otherwise shut them out electorally indefinitely and continue to sell out the public to the rich, even as discontent is increasing and the plutocratic rot is visible on the surface and spread throughout the whole.

              sure, focusing on how dumb they are isn't very condusive to discussing the intricacies of capitalism.

              seriously though, they do have a plan. we need to figure out ours.

      Its quite explicitly malicious. If you do anything they think is not in national security interests: treason.

    Yes end to end encryption is for hostile actors why don't you send your nuclear launch codes in plain text.

    No way this lasts or holds up to basic scrutiny. End to end encryption is a de-facto standard for so fucking much technology.

    Like fucking HTTPS.

      Well if they commit to this, it will never affect "e2ee" options that collaborate with feds e.g. whatsapp, imessage. If you can kill Refaat Alareer with it rest assured you will be able to keep it in your phone anytime

    What I see here is that the UK is a hostile entity towards humanity. So, fuck the UK government and all their parties. Since we're here, fuck the French government as well, just in case.

    So google, amazon and Microsoft are hostile actors.every cloud provider is an enemy of uk government. They have gardeners (at best) or lawyers ( most probably), which did their own research.before writing these abominations. At the same time, they want to give all medical datas in the NHS to palantir. This is the apoteosis of incompetence.

    There's a common saying in Germany that applies.

    Show Die spinnen, die Britten
    Basically translates to: "Those Brits are crazy", but the literal translation would be: "The Brits are spinning" (yarn).

    Obelix knows best.

    Oh yeah? I'll train an army of crows to transfer messages in exchange for specific shiny objects.

    Seriously though - the constant hypocrisy and attempt to make our lives undeniably worse for their control obsession is either going to force our hand or end with the enslavement of the human race. These people are truly mad.

    Was this written by a native English speaker?

    It's hard to take seriously with so many grammatical errors

    If i remember correctly, a few weeks ago a government party had their signal chat leaked. Those people have since ceased using signal right?
