What happened to the snoopers' charter?
- nodata 12y agoFor those in the UK, the Open Rights Group (ORG) worked very hard to bring this backdoor bill the attention it needed. Please support them. https://www.openrightsgroup.org/ https://www.openrightsgroup.org/
- mattmanser 12y agoMan, their sign up process really sucks on mobile. Saw these guys speaks a few years ago, they know what they're about, nonwithstanding their terrible mobile experience.
- eterm 12y agoI followed the creation of ORG through the pages of NTK. Looking back it makes me realise how much I miss NTK. Even though back then I wasn't working in the tech industry I felt a lot more connected to UK scene than I do now.

- feintruled 12y agoThe logic of these (unelected) representatives boggles the mind. "What, they asked, if there was a Paris-style attack in this country, which was later found to have been preventable, if they had had these powers?" This reasoning could be used to justify just about any law! Leaving aside the fact the French police already have powers of these nature.

- revscat 12y agoMy answer to these kinds of questions is always the same: you prosecute the crime and move on. You do not succumb to fear and loathing and pass some ill-considered bill that is acrimonious to liberty or modern social norms re: democracy or (online) security.
