Signal is 100% right.
The greatest trick governments ever pulled was convincing people that freedom and privacy are obstacles to safety.
What we are witnessing is not child protection. It is the construction of a surveillance architecture that will eventually monitor, profile, categorize and control every aspect of our digital lives.
Today it is age verification and content scanning, tomorrow it is digital identity, then financial monitoring, then behavioural scoring, then access to services conditioned on compliance.
The destination is not difficult to see. It is a technocratic system where every interaction is tracked, every transaction recorded, every opinion assessed and every citizen reduced to a data profile managed by governments and corporations working hand in hand.
A form of digital neo feudalism where a small unelected class controls the platforms, the infrastructure, the money and ultimately the boundaries of acceptable behaviour.
The argument that only criminals should fear surveillance is as absurd as saying only criminals need freedom of speech. Privacy is not evidence of wrongdoing, it is the foundation of human dignity, individual sovereignty and genuine liberty.
The UK government is asking citizens to accept the presumption of guilt simply to communicate online. To prove who they are, verify their age and allow their devices to inspect their content before they can participate in modern society.
History teaches us that every power granted to the state eventually expands beyond its initial mandate. The technology introduced to detect one form of content today will be used to police entirely different forms of expression tomorrow.
The choice before us is not between privacy and child protection, it is between preserving a free society, or constructing the infrastructure of a digital prison that will further enslave us.
The Labour government have proved that their net zero policies are gigantic piss take. They tell us plebs to turn off our lights, reduce eating red meat and dairy and also slap carbon taxes on us, yet they are ramming through hundreds of massive data centres that hoover up energy and water - which risk higher energy bills and jeopardise energy and water security.
▪️These gigantic hyperscale data centres that consume as much electricity in 24 hours as roughly 89 average streets use over an entire year.
▪️The UK now hosts more than 500 active data centres (the third largest in the world). They have been rammed through despite huge local community concerns about the impact on their local landscapes and energy and water consumption.
▪️These enormous data centres are giant industrial facilities consuming vast quantities of electricity, water and land while placing increasing pressure on the UK’s energy infrastructure.
▪️Water consumption by data centres is expected to reach 9.3 trillion litres, while CO2 emissions will rise to 399 million tons.
▪️Annual power consumption from data centres is projected to double to 945 TWh by 2030, around the same as the whole of Japan’s energy consumption, with AI accounting for 40% of the total.
▪️It is estimated that data-centre power and water consumption could double by 2030 due to AI growth.
▪️Emerging research suggests large AI facilities can create localised warming effects around their sites, sometimes described as a “data heat island” effect.
Net zero for us, but not for the tech giants. Power taken from us to power Big Tech data centres.
This is carers week lets celebrate & recognise all the unpaid carers caring 24 hrs day for a pittance and at the same time saving the government money every hour of every day
Another delivery person caught on security cam.
I mean there's really no misreading what was happening in this one!
Have any of your deliveries ever gone missing?
Unconfirmed reports coming in the guy has sadly passed away in North Belfast.
Also it’s been said that he lost both his eyes with the attack. 😔
They also took the attacker to the exact hospital the victim was in…
Middle class feeling the squeeze and claiming money they have never needed to claim before.
The poor, meanwhile are being crushed - and living in cold houses, eating cheap food, and getting sicker and more disabled.
Please sign - this is about you and your family’s health. There has been no debate or vote on this in Parliament
Petition: Ensure access to non-whole meal flour without folic acid fortification
We call on the Government to amend the law to ensure there are at least one non-wholemeal flour option without folic acid fortification, and to exempt organic flour from mandatory folic acid fortification requirement from December 2026.

so the uk government is proposing 16 year olds should be allowed to vote for our country's future... but shouldn't be allowed to access study material on youtube. right. got it.
No, I don't agree with government.
Taking scarce water supplies for data centres is not the same as for homes, or food-growing, or looking after nature
Stop calling them "data centers."
These are massive surveillance infrastructure hubs built to monitor, track, and control every aspect of human life and they’re on track to lock 99% of the population into a total digital prison by 2030.
The UK government is using "child safety" as a Trojan horse to roll out highly invasive digital identity and surveillance infrastructure.
Don't fall for it.
If they truly cared about protecting children, they would have held all the people and institutions complicit in the industrial "grooming" of British children accountable.
Very good point raised by @ZiaYusufUK
The culprits who attacked officers in Southampton have been sentenced one week later. One for 2 years & 4 months.
When BLM activists threw the Colston statue in the river. Nobody went to prison.
This is two-tier justice we’re angry about.
I need the government to lock up criminals, defend the nation, build infrastructure, collect the bins, and a few other services - basic research etc. I’m not an anarchist or anything.
What I don’t need from the government is moral instruction. I don’t need them to tell me how to raise my kids. I don’t need them to nudge me into better dietary choices. I certainly don’t need them hamfistedly backdooring my devices to check I’m not doing anything they don’t like.
GTFO of my life, thank you. You’re not smarter than me, you aren’t qualified to manage me, please leave me alone.
🚨Keir Starmer just dropped the most sinister education “reform” yet.
No social media for under-16s — keep the kids isolated from the real world.
Then roll out state-controlled AI tutors to 450,000 children on free school meals… pumping them full of the exact narrative the government wants them to believe.
Then — like magic — poof… lower the voting age to 16 so they can vote the second they’re programmed. 🗳️
Isolate.
Indoctrinate.
Harvest the votes.
This isn’t closing an “attainment gap.”
This is manufacturing consent in real time.
1984 wasn’t a warning.
It was the Labour manifesto.
#StarmerAI #BrainwashedByDesign #VotesAt16
Keir Starmer is set to impose internet restrictions on millions of Britons within days.
What will that mean for our ability to log into X?
Elon Musk bought X to save freedom of speech.
Starmer is trying to control us.
This is not about protecting children. This is about silencing dissent, monitoring every word, and turning the internet into a state-approved echo chamber.
The same regime that jails people for tweets now wants to gatekeep the entire web.
They fear the truth spreading.
They fear you speaking freely.
They fear X.
We will not comply.
We will not be silenced.
Starmer’s digital prison will fail.
The British people will find a way to speak — no matter what restrictions he imposes.
Freedom will not be surrendered without a fight.
Anyone ever find out what happened to our £28,000,000,000 spent on Test & Trace which didn’t really work or the billions spent on PPE which had to be burnt because it was out of date or unsuitable? And what happened to the charming Michell Mone, still on her yacht?
Minister @Jacqui_Smith1 is banging on about child safety on mobile phones📲 .
Never forget she was the Home Secretary when that notorious memo was sent out in 2008 stating girl grooming gang victims were consenting & little more than prostitutes.
