    It’s dystopian shit like this that is beginning to make me despair of what my country will be in 10 years time.

    The passing of the online safety bill, this sort of shit, the recent legislation making it more and more difficult to protest anything, the massive expansion of facial recognition cameras everywhere. We’re on the edge of a bad period I think.

        True, but it’s definitely getting both worse and more blatant.

            Are you genuinely asking me if the ramping up of invasive legislation in the UK is worse than genocide?

                …on a privacy related Community regarding a privacy related story, talking about privacy related legislation.

                You’re insinuating two entirely disparate things are the same. Privacy related legislation and our historical propensity for genocide.

      Possibly could have reworded that last sentence. Unless it was a deliberate pun?

      Can’t think what they’d want from this though. And why the police? They’ve got better things to do, this is a health matter.

      Nah bro if shit hits the fan, we can use the tech against politicians & super-rich . They can’t hide, look at both sides of the coin. Just keep doing good, don’t fret on the darkest possible outcome.

          Signs: programming is easy to learn. Learn to hack the things that make you scared. Afraid of mosquito-sized drones killing you? Kill your politicians with them first instead.

          Mandatory “e-vax” passports? Hack them, show the world that they are useless as they are easier to forge than a stamped paper.

          Databases holding miscarriages info to use the info against people in the future ? Corrupt their data, fill it with crap, or expose it so they have to shut the place down.

          It’s not what the world can do for you…
