We're all getting the shaft one way or the other

I guess they can try, but in this era of ubiquitous surveillance it’s hard to imagine they would succeed in secretly entering a home.

    Sorry my bad, I will try to change the title

      No worries. Title change worked. I commentee because "secretly" is really the key word.

      Not clear if this means without a warrant.

      Secretly accessing premises to fit bugs has been happening for decades in the US (and other countries?). Watch documentaries about the FBI vs the mafia. But, crucially, there are/were very strict rules and a high threshold.

A bad week for Zig migrating to Codeberg

After Chat Control and Germany's precedent for arresting meme-posters, Europe (yes UK included) is fast-tracked to become a totalitarian surveillance state. People should be terrified of how rapidly our civil liberties are being torn down.

I don't know what the answer is anymore as it seems all our democratic processes defending us from these erosions of our liberties have simply ceased to function.

Yes, but it’s done by a liberal government for democracy and human rights, so it’s okay.

    And of you complain, or in any way come against the government then they are justified in silencing you, in the name of human rights and democracy of course not like China or Russia
