People slander the government of the day.
People despise parking fines, speed fines, fines for being on your phone while driving.
Fines for no TV licenses.
A friend of a family member got fined £1000 for having an out of date drivers license.
etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.
Day to day people hate the law/government. As 90% of the time they only hear from them in a negative situation. Then they're happy to sign over every lasts scrap of information....
For some reason they've got it into their heads the law and government does the right and correct thing for the people.
I'm surprised the calls to ban whatsapp haven't happened yet considering every message is encrypted.
Keith Weller is back in the news again.![]()
Surely there's a simple way around this?
If everyone in the uk typed certain things into google every day then their super spy computer would crash under the weight.
If specific keywords are a trigger (Isis,bomb making, politician killing, paedo terrorist on holiday in Syria should do it) then loads of people typing this would ruin their surveillance, thus making it all a bit pointless.
Even if they did have the resources to track down the millions of people doing it, you could just say you were pissing about. You could even show them this post as proof that you're not a beardy bomber, just a bit of a rebel that is fighting back against the snooping.
Problem solved.
Has bluetit ever said something funny? That'd probably be a good use for the snooper's charter
I am not sure you quite understand the point of this change in the law. They have already been doing this, is one form or another, but it wasnt "legal" to be able to be presented in court. much of this is nothing new, only now they are enshrining it into law. Whereas before it was done anyway, but couldnt be presented in court.
And the secret services have found weak points in Tor, its more invasive to be able to use. But these new powers likely give them the legal right to use the more invasive powers.
And its 12 years for a reason. The same reason why most of europe is copying and catching up with what we have been doing for a couple of decardes
^^ This for a start.
The fact that this is about the snoopers charter is not what should be bothering people, not listening to the petition sends a clear message, they could not care less about what people want.
Apathy is all the consent they need to take over every aspect of your life.
People are paranoid about the government "snooping" yet they give out loads of information on social media.
We probably know more about the Colonel than his Mrs
All you know about me, or anyone on here, is the stuff they are willing to divulge.
If you had total access to a year's worth of my internet history, phone calls, emails and texts then you'd know more about me than anyone else in the world.
This is what we're giving up to these people and yet not many people seem too bothered about it. In fact there seems to be plenty of people who are very happy for this to be happening because, y'know, the kids or terrorism and stuff.
He's got to be on a wind up, nobody is this wilfully ignorant.
It doesn't really matter whether you believe you have nothing to hide or not though. They will (presumably) only search through your data if they believe you have something to hide and therefore are starting with the view to find something. Your innocent searches may not appear so innocent any longer.
It's been so widely criticised and yet pushed through by this government. It allows MP's to have higher status than ordinary people which given the expenses scandal etc. etc. may not be a good thing.
