This is what happens when politicians decide to regulate technology they don’t understand, targeting problems they can’t define, with solutions that don’t work. The UK has managed to create a law so poorly designed that it simultaneously violates privacy, restricts freedom, harms small businesses, and completely fails at its stated goal of protecting children.

And all of this was predictable. Hell, it was predicted.

Pish posh! This is the sort of defeatist doomsaying that almost scuttled Brexit! And look how wonderfully well that's all played out!

No no, what they need to do now is really bear down and Get Privacy Destruction Done.

And there's no time to waste as We Have Always Been At War With Oceania
