Does anyone ever wonder which school these people go to to be trained in such a duplicitous way of thinking or do they really believe they are protecting everyone from the terrorists? As the article clearly demonstrates, Amber Rudd conflates the need to monitor and remove public information with the need to monitor everyone's private information.
This sort of "tough love" probably plays well politically with most of the population, who can't really think of a reason they'd like their privacy protected.
I really can't get my head around why all politicians (across the world right now really) converge on the same draconian policies.
