You wouldn't know from reading the TC article (which is almost criminally poor), but yes, this is very, very bad.
Read the actual proposal instead, it's written in natural language and perfectly readable: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/504238/Equipment_interference_draft_code_of_practice.PDF https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachm... -- Chapter 7, begins at page 57.

- benevol 11y agoAll these new US & UK laws literally scream "Snowden is a traitor!". Who wants to live in such a society?
- noir_lord 11y agoWould I want to? Hell no. Unfortunately the sands are shifting under me and since we are about two steps back from full idiocracy I can't see it changing. We have an electorate is willfully almost gleefully uninformed, ruled over by politicians who are venal and rarely if ever held to account. The whole system is bullshit from council to ministers. The interesting question for me is more "has it always been this bad and we didn't know or are things actually worse now", I'm leaning towards the former as if you look at the history of government (in this country and most countries tbh) it's a litany of abuse after abuse.
