The UK Labour government is one government particularly in favor of tapping all communications "for the sake of the children". It turned out this week that they knowingly hired the "best friend" of famous pedophile as ambassador to the US. >I didn't bring up CSAM here because HN is militantly against think-of-the-children arguments. All consent manufacturing arguments promoting mass surveillance and backdoors are disingenuous to the very core. Im surprised you dont see it.
