[Old Man]

A police state now?

Lol.....

lol.............?

lol kekwut?

Keklol?

They seem to be getting worse by the day, and people are oblivious.

Bloody hell... top kek m8.

 

[ebilcake]

Not surprising considering she introduced the snoopers charter.

People never learn.

 

[McGray]

Ridiculous and depressing.

 

[Armageus]

Will this change how people vote though?

 

[adolf hamster]

because state controlled media has always been one of the hallmarks of a progressive, forward thinking democracy....

 

[PiKe]

I won't be voting conservative then.

 

[Rroff]

And people will still vote for them right up until its too late - it would be funny if it wasn't so depressing.

Unfortunately when it comes to tech so many people lack insight until forced to deal with something themselves

Depressingly, probably not.

I'm surprised people on here, a computer forum, will continue to vote for them after reading this. Makes no sense.

Me too, until they start making it a criminal offence to use a VPN, or without some sort of licence - like owning a firearm, you're only allowed a VPN in very specific circumstances, after being interviewed by a man with a clipboard.. I'm kinda laughing at myself typing stuff I'd have thought would be total nonsense, but right now - it's not very funny tbh..

but you know what they say! nothing to hide nothing to worry about!..............

maybe for a few but mostly not - main focus for this election is Brexit and the rather obvious issue that the alternative choice has Corbyn & co in charge

 

[jimjamuk]

as I said in the other thread - its pie in the sky stuff and once they sit down and ask a few techies how to do it and get laughed at - its never going to appear as a "new internet". Just like they cant backdoor encryption in the traditional sense (they could create a new flawed encryption algorithm but it'll get ignored)

Only if they are terrorists, peadophiles or read the same article the OP did and believed it without question.

Yes, because this is the ONLY thing that we should take into consideration when voting.

Yeah I dislike Labour but I hate May, I'd prefer being lead by someone more likable than a total Witch, change the W with a B. I'll either not vote or go with Labour, we will probably go bankrupt with Labour but hey ho.

Yes, because this is the ONLY thing that we should take into consideration when voting.

It's the only thing I've taken into consideration, both parties are useless. Politics in this country are totally screwed.

 

[G-MAN2004]

Yes, because this is the ONLY thing that we should take into consideration when voting.

Well, obviously not... But I was just pointing out that I would imagine people on a computer forum to be quite against something as utterly ridiculous as this. The general public probably won't care.
