@girlonthenet Thank you so very much for taking the time to write this article and graciously sharing with the world! My god... I was thoroughly informed, brilliantly entertained and found plenty of points that I see no one else make!
It is beyond frustrating that what is happening is entirely what some of us said would happen.
I spoke about the bill at Eroticon (RIP an amazing event) some years back, and, well, I hate to have been proven right.
I am hopeful for movement in some areas but that will not go as far as it needs.
now the shit has fully hit the fan, it's really good on the gallons of good faith still being lavished on the UK government and big tech: but surely we're a liberal democracy; but surely the government is pro-business; but surely tech businesses wouldn't sell, share, leak, lose, misuse my sensitive data; but surely peter kyle just wants to protect children. come the fuck on.
So yes this is well worth your time.
