jimmyff | An open letter to the UK Government on digital privacy

I'm a software engineer and 20-year Labour member, and this is an open letter to the PM warning that the UK is on a dangerous trajectory. I genuinely don't know if the Home Office grasps that banning VPNs, mandating device scanning , and requiring universal identity checks demolishes privacy for everyone -or if this is deliberate. This is my attempt to ask them to reconsider and start listening to the technical community.
