Lol. BBC turned off replies as I was typing this. So Repost instead.
"Ed Davey asks if there should be a crackdown on platforms like X where ordinary people are able to voice their legitimate concerns about political issues, expose events which politicians want to remain hidden, and repeatedly call out lying politicians via Community Notes".
The UK is drafting a law to jail tech execs for 5 YEARS if they refuse to build scanners that scan EVERY photo, video & message on your phone.
Refuse the backdoor = go to prison.
All while screaming "think of the children."
the UK government just told Apple and Google: scan every phone in the country for nudity. not just kids' phones. every phone. you have 3 months. or we arrest your executives.
Apple already said yes earlier this year. 35 million people woke up one day and had to prove they were adults to use a phone they already paid for.
Signal put out a statement today. one line:
"nudity today. political speech tomorrow."
Here's every time a government built one of these systems and what actually happened:
2001 — PATRIOT Act. passed 6 weeks after 9/11. 3 days after it was introduced it was law. sold as: we need to spy on terrorists. what it actually was: a wish list of surveillance powers the FBI had been asking for for years and Congress had already said no to. multiple times.
2005 — the Bush administration was caught running a secret program wiretapping american citizens with no warrant. no judge. no oversight. the "terrorism only" promise lasted exactly 4 years.
2013 — Snowden. the NSA was secretly collecting the phone records of every single american. not suspects. not terrorists. every person who made a phone call. the law said "collect data related to terrorism." they decided that meant everyone.
2015 — same law, Section 215, used to collect financial records, internet browsing history, and location data on ordinary americans. still called a terrorism tool.
2021 — the entire surveillance infrastructure built after 9/11 was used to monitor Black Lives Matter protesters. domestic activists. people marching in the street. not terrorists.
2026 — "Protect the children."
All they need a software update.
It has happened this way every single time.
they name it after the thing nobody wants to defend.
then they point it at everything else.
Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

@FDJhJwEzCFF0C6H The deck is really strong as a control strategy, and definitely is bolstered by the knowledge of the duelist.
I'm glad you're having fun with Enneacraft!
