That's a very thinly veiled threat
- Jon_Lowtek 6y agoGiven the Orwellian level of mass surveillance the UK is building, "the GCHQ collects data about anyone connecting to any any site and has a special dossier on people using Sci-Hub, so if you use it, you will be flagged by secret police and this can and will be used as kompromat against you by your own government" is a far more credible threat about misuse of students personal data than anything the aforementioned site is going to do. The far more interesting part of the article however is the "urged universities to block the website on their networks" part.
