The response to "what are you trying to hide" is always "WTF do you need to see so badly?"

It could be considered biochemical warfare

Now is a great time to invest some time and effort into offline hobbies, whether they be on your computer or otherwise. Limiting or eliminating your time online these days is just a straight net gain for your mental health, especially if you can fill that gap with some other fulfilling activity.

I am already self-hosting Matrix for my friend group. I suppose where just gonna move more and more stuff onto there. Doesn't fix the issue, but you don't have to go quietly.

That’s what they want. The internet is open information and that jeopardizes the power of powerful people. Can’t be having that. So they’ll continue to try and break the internet until they get their way.

This was very much the previous Labour government as well though - attempted ID cards, restricted what you could photograph or film, made it illegal to not disclose a password when asked by police and so and on

Yeah its been an affront on all sides. Privacy and freedom of expression is dying, unfortunately the majority of the population will only realise the levels of authoritarianism too late.

The politicians who wrestled back control of the Labour party through a campaign of smears with the help of Israeli-linked Jewish groups and who, immediately after that started at purge of any with dissenting opinions from that party, had more than demonstrated their love for Machiavelism, even before rising to Government purely on the back of the First Past The Post system and Reform splitting the far-right vote thus costing the Tories lots of seats.

Also, as others pointed out, this faction of Labour has long had an autoritarian streak, both in terms of the insane civil surveillance infrastructure they built last time they were in Government (as exposed by the Snowden Revelations) and their relentless weakening of privacy and even pretty basic legal rights.

This is really not surprising: the goose stepping into Fascism in the UK has started a while ago, it's just that it's a posh kind of Fascism wrapped in layers of deceit and disguised as "Rule Of Law", unlike in places like for example Hungary were it was closer to the more traditional "strong-man with an iron-fist" Fascist image.

That’s a bold statement!

Our only saving grace is that we got rid of wildly dodgy boris johnson and then never voted him back in again. That's it, that's the best thing we've done in a looooong time.

The dodgy bastard is/was just as corrupt as the obese orange paedo but had the mental capacity to hide it better.

You mean like Matrix ?
