Almost like it was a non-starter. Who could have possibly foreseen that?
Lol, they think we can’t see throught their “we need to destroy [insert any privacy right] to save the children” bullshit. Never mind the fact it was never about saving kids in the first place.
We can see through it but most people either can’t or just don’t care. Its barely talked about, I only ever see articles about this posted on here/Reddit, I never see or hear any discussion about it anywhere else, and there never seem to be any articles on the front page of BBC etc
Lol, zombie government
So if anyone reading this would like to be PM for a bit, please put your name in. You can’t be any worse so you may as well.
I was amazed they still tried to get it through until now. This Sunak government has been criticised (rightly so) for getting nothing done.
Why make a big song and dance about something that experts and companies were saying was impossible, just to have to cancel it.
It highlights once again how truly useless and incompetent the tory party is at the minute.
I think they just want the headlines for being seen doing something, they don’t actually want to implement anything
the government will reportedly confirm that communications regulator Ofcom will only require companies to introduce back-door access when a technology is developed that is capable of scanning networks in such a manner.
So never then?
Edit: This is a surprise as I was reading articles earlier today claiming that this was almost guaranteed to pass. It’s another can kick like the age verification law.
any article claiming that was written by a moron, they’ve been trying and failing to do this for a decade. It’s not the first attempt, it’s not gonna be the last. It’ll always fail
It was never going to pass. Sure they may have tried to push it through but there are far too many people that they would need to get it past, and those people either understand how technology works or at least consult people who understand how technology works.
The Tories always trying to implement laws that are physically impossible. All the sodding time.
Same with the REUL bill. I don’t really understand why they propose them if they aren’t realistic. Could it be to appease backbenchers?
Could it be to appease backbenchers?
And constituents. While you’d think failing to pass something would damage the party’s reputation, for hardcore members, the fact they tried to fight even a losing battle “for the cause,” is seen as a plus.
“It’s the other parties’ fault for getting in the way of justice!”
