    I’m tired boss. This governmental fight against privacy all over the world is wearing down my willingness to be on the internet at all.

    This year has been absolutely relentless. Got to be the worst year for privacy by far, and tech in general. Especially in the UK and especially these last few months. I will never forgive Labour for this. I know a lot of the legislation like the online safety act was passed by the previous Tory government but they were supposed to be an improvement, not come in and start immediately enforcing it to a greater extent than the Tories.

    I don’t think there’s been a single week since the summer where I haven’t seen something that’s filled me with dread. I think it’s actually making me sick at this point

      Yeah its been an affront on all sides. Privacy and freedom of expression is dying, unfortunately the majority of the population will only realise the levels of authoritarianism too late.

    By that logic, it’s also a hostile activity to close the bathroom door when I’m taking a fat shit. Privacy isn’t just for criminals.

      The response to “what are you trying to hide” is always “WTF do you need to see so badly?”

    The UK has become a mockery of its own legal system. Even the current state in the U.S. respects common law more.
