🚨 Wide ranging powers to restrict Internet access in the UK have been voted through 🚨

Ministers will be able to impose digital ID checks, curfews and VPN restrictions without Parliamentary scrutiny.

This can be used on websites, social media, apps and games with no need to show there's any harm to children.

@bussphomet @openrightsgroup Think the plan is to vote them into oblivion in 2029 (and in Wales/Scotland and local government in May)

@etchedpixels @bussphomet Who we decide to vote them into oblivion with is the issue, do we go with the hard-right fascist everyman party or the fairly progressive one?

Voting?
Unless you're voting with violence its not going to do shit at this point.
A two party system is just choosing which fang of the snake bites you.
Perhaps instead you should cave the snakes skull in.

@bussphomet @openrightsgroup I was scrolling the comments and only found one mention of this (yours). I’m really stunned by that, because it maps 1:1 to that movie.
