The U.K. Parliament has passed the Online Safety Bill (OSB), which says it will make the U.K. “the safest place” in the world to be online. In reality, the OSB will lead to a much more censored, locked-down internet for British users. The bill could empower the government to undermine not just the privacy and security of U.K. residents, but internet users worldwide.
Britons again with the most draconian laws you can possibly imagine. That wretched island has been nothing but a pile of the worst things and ideas humanity has to offer, and still it's the "bastion of freedom" and part of the "free west".
What a joke. At least free software alternatives that make sense and can provide anonymity and privacy could possibly be free from such a backdoor, like SimpleX or something else.
Well I wish best of luck to all Britons so that they may be safe. Especially trans people...
Sometimes I feel like the UK is the West's testing ground for all their worst ideas. Dump it in there, see what happens, then roll it out everywhere else.
