I'd rather ban Theresa May
Fuzznucket :white_check_mark: @Gargron The woman really is a complete idiot.
Vigdis@Gargron fyi since a few days ago, it's now Theresa June
Moved>@@Gargron she can't ban it, even if she wants to! The cat's already out of the bag, and it is just maths. So bad guys will only use non-commercial solutions if her plan goes through.
Besides, I don't want my bank account details floating around the Internet unencrypted. Or any other of my password field inputs.
So screw Theresa May.
🌼 chloe 🌵➡️🐨@Gargron can we build a wall around her? maybe we can get trump to do it.
DatTux 🌐🍍 enthusiast@Gargron it's scaring me how far she's able to get with stuff like this. If she stays in power than IL probably seriously question how viable it will be to live in the UK as a developer.
I don't want to be arrested, fined or called a terrorist sympathiser for keeping my users safe.
Twisted Lucidity@Gargron @DatTux it's more "sounds good to the ears" dross from the Maybot to appease the unthinking knuckle-draggers (i.e. Sun and Daily Mail readers).
It won't happen because it can't happen. no encryption; no online shopping or banking etc, no financial trading, no e-government, etc etc etc.
This is a pretty good video on the subject, please share it.
@twistedLucidity @DatTux I mean, look, we both know that the proposal is stupid, impossible, and would only hurt Britain. Does that sound familiar? I wouldn't rely on May.
@twistedLucidity @Gargron oh yeah, no doubt it's impossible to impose but I worry shell use it as clout against services she doesn't like.
