It surprises me I don't hear more about this in tech circles to be honest because it's something that concerns me greatly. I like Cloudflare as a product, but it seems to me they've effectively made privacy from state actors

Try to remember the pain you feel is a reflection of how much you love and miss the people and animals who were once in your life. Don't try to deal with it in the sense of trying to minimising the pain, but learn to appreciate that pa

It's not just privacy, Europe is cracking down on freedoms generally. Free speech, the right to silence, the presumption of innocence, etc. Most of this is being done to address the increasing terrorism threat we now face on a daily ba

This might be controversial, but as a Brit I fear surveillance of the British government far more than a foreign adversary like China. I totally understand why from a national security perspective we don't want that, but in the UK peop

It's not that they don't understand it's that they don't care. The UK doesn't really respect the right to privacy generally. Walk down any street in the UK you see multiple CCTV cams watching you. Buy something at t

The left-wing party in the UK has only just won its largest majority in history and we don't have another election for 5 years. That is largely because the right has split into populist right and centre-right parties though.
