"Would you like the government to permanently have access to all private messages without a warrant so they can catch terrorists, of which they cannot provide a single example of a terrorist this system has caught?"
Look at me, I can write a technically true but biased question too!
- deith 7y agoWhy without a warrant? Why "to catch terrorists"? There are lots of crimes and even civil matters for which this is useful.
- thenewnewguy 7y agoBecause that's how it works right now (at least in the US, can't speak for other countries for sure), and I'm intentionally writing a question biased in the opposite direction of how yours was.
- ClumsyPilot 7y agoWould you prefer it was phrased: government will archive and index everything you ever write, film and record to search for evidence of: Watching illegal movies, Smoking weed, Not paying all your taxes, Antisocial behaviour, crossing a red light?
- ben_w 7y agoYeah, but you’re not in charge of writing the referendum question, if it comes to that, and the UK doesn’t have a strong pro-personal-liberty party, so the fact you can write an alternative biased in a nice way doesn’t help.
