Theresa may calls for tighter internet regulations after London attack

Typical knee-jerk reaction showing a complete lack of understanding of the technology and the problem.

The thing is, it's not that knee-jerk — it's in their manifesto.

All she's doing is using a terrorist attack to justify policy she already plans to implement.

The outraged public who are just as ignorant about technology as she is will no doubt lap it up.
 
Someone on Sky saying that it takes 30 police to monitor 1 person for 24 hours, damn no wonder they're complaining about numbers if they're that useless. Why not just contract the work out to a private detective and have 30 extra police walking the streets?
 
30? Seems rather high.

Surely one to watch internet usage. One to follow them (assume partner) and rotate them between suspects so they don't get seen too often. One to lead said following. So 8 people for a day. Maybe one to make the coffee.

What on earth are 30 doing :confused:.

Yep, she says all this now when peodos have been using the same method over the internet for years to groom kids and yet nothing has been said.

Do you seriously think that it takes 1 man with little eye holes cut in a newspaper to monitor someone for a day
 
I moaned about this yesterday on fb.

I am now all out of moans.


If her plan is actioned, then it will be a total failure due to their lack of foresight into what they plan to actually do. It will also push people into the dark web and other encrypted services.
 
She is irretrievably ignorant and seemingly unrelentingly arrogant in any matter relating to policing and security of this country. In these anarchic times, I’m swaying to vote Labour just for the shear craic of it.
 
Aha, that would imply she perhaps once did.

Touché!

I spent a few hours recently implementing a new encryption method on our software at work... Am i now on a terrorist watch list :rolleyes:?

I honestly don't know who is worse out of May or Trump... At least Trump makes it glaringly obvious he's an incompetent buffoon :/
 
I hope what she meant was the removal of terrorist material from the internet, not preventing people from accessing it.

The two are very different. The first is a good idea, the second isn't as anyone with half a brain cell can go through a vpn proxy.

That said, if someone wants to find it badly enough they can go onto the darkweb. Hopefully this will prevent brainwashing, as if someone goes onto the darkweb they are pretty much too far gone at that point.

And is just as impossible as the second...

Besides, what do you class as "terrorist material"?
 
It's ridiculous that you can have politicians in charge of health, education and science etc. that have no experience in the fields. I think it's probably worse with technology as half the time the policies don't make any sense and also don't even work. For example they have banned certain file sharing websites. But it takes 5 seconds to google proxy to get around it. I there was somebody in charge who had a clue about tech and the internet they wouldn't have even bothered as it was a pointless and ineffective policy.

Ministers almost never have any real practical experience in the areas that their ministries are responsible for.

That is what the civil service and its advisor's are for. (It was always reckoned that "Yes Minister" was a lot closer to the truth than most people realised)

Thatcher was reputed to have wanted to be remembered more for being the first Prime Minister to have a science degree rather than being the first one who was a Woman.
