You can tell Russia’s desperate because they’ve got the North Koreans involved.

Anyone who can look at a human being and say “this is what your just do no matter what because of what parts you have and nothing else” doesn’t see others as full people.

I say this a lot but get Firefox.

They’re using child safety as an excuse to pass this bill, which is funny because criminals don’t tend to care about the law and thus will just move to (now illegal) encrypted services.

It’s doubly interesting because Boris Johnson (the former prime minister and head of the party who came up with this bullshit) is literally hiding behind the fact he can’t find the passcode for his encrypted WhatsApp messages to stop the COVID enquiry seeing evidence he has in regards to how COVID was handled, and members of his party, who proposed this bill, are saying it’s an attack on democracy that he hands over these encrypted messages.

In short, the government is coming for YOUR encryption but they’ll keep using it to keep info they don’t want you to know, thank you very much!
