It's dystopian shit like this that is beginning to make me despair of what my country will be in 10 years time.

The passing of the online safety bill, this sort of shit, the recent legislation making it more and more difficult to protest anything, the massive expansion of facial recognition cameras everywhere. We're on the edge of a bad period I think.

The UK has always been an oppressor lol

True, but it's definitely getting both worse and more blatant.

No, you're just becoming more aware of it

Worse than their genocides in Africa, America, etc?

[–] leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you genuinely asking me if the ramping up of invasive legislation in the UK is worse than genocide?

[–] library_napper@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because you said the country has gotten worse than historically, yes.

...on a privacy related Community regarding a privacy related story, talking about privacy related legislation.

You're insinuating two entirely disparate things are the same. Privacy related legislation and our historical propensity for genocide.

Possibly could have reworded that last sentence. Unless it was a deliberate pun?

Can't think what they'd want from this though. And why the police? They've got better things to do, this is a health matter.

The police think they're solving murders.
