Reply to comment by andnom in UK waters down internet rules plan after free speech outcry by Sorin61

UK already is THE spy hub to surveil all of European communications. UK is a member of ECHELON

And FIVE EYES https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes

Those internet laws are solely to legalize illegal surveillance of all US and European communication.

They want to put the whole UK population under constant surveillance in the name of child sex prevention. It's all lies.

Like it or not there's no way to prevent governments from spying on you.

They could literally swear not to do it and then get caught red handed with 0 consequences like what happen after the Snowden leaks.

Yeah, but with those laws they can legally surveil you and exploit the evidence to be used against you in any way they see fit. It opens a whole new can of worms everytime they step over the privacy. People are coerced into believing that this is normal. It is not.
