Hanlon’s Razor:
"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
Given the U.K. government’s recent behaviour I don’t see any evidence that they are organised enough to be putting this through with any hidden motives.
- jules-jules 8y agoHave you seen Theresa May recently? (this was conceived under her as Home Sec) It's pure malice dripping out of every pore.
- darn2heck 8y agoGiven the culture of mass surveillance I don't think this is a reach. They are talking about doing the same for social media too, I expect that will either be framed in terms of cyberbullying, fighting the far-right, or perhaps copyright. I see a consistent agenda that lines up perfectly with Theresa May's authoritarian approach to matters. Either they are stupid or they are pursuing a consistent agenda under different guises. I think the simplest answer is likely the latter. Also there is plenty of deliberate deception and malice in the Conservative party policies at the moment, I don't see why this would be the exception to the rule.
