@flamingos@feddit.uk could this perhaps be a pinned post? This fundamentally alters everybody's relationship with the internet and should be known to all.

Which amendment was which? Trying to look up my MPs coding history for it.
Good. Far too many morons are having their voices and opinions amplified.
You think this will just be used to silence the people you dislike?
How cute.
Where did I say that?
Quite right, I assumed naïvety when I should have seen edginess.
How cute.
You have no argument, so you just try to belittle me.
Actually the argument is blindingly obvious, and I've alluded to it. But to spell it out:
A government granting themselves, and all future ministers, the ability to control and log who uses what websites opens the door to all sorts of possible future abuses, while practically solving very little.
Also, your opening "argument" was that this is good because too many people are morons. It's an interesting one from someone who claims to want substance over belittlement.
You know what I just had a look through your post history. You win. You are clearly a very angry person who needs to touch grass. Peace out homie. One love. Xxxx
This is what you're failing to understand. I'm not bothered if any government wants to log every website that everyone visits. This is because I understand how networking and network security works. Anyone with half a brain can bypass anything they can come up with. If you hadn't realised, everything in life is a game of cat and mouse.
Because handing power like that to politicians has never bitten anyone hard in the arse before, right?
Muppet.
Yes let's live in fear of what could happen
Dear me. Comparing you to a pair of short planks wouldn't be doing the wood justice.
History, both recent and ancient, repeatedly demonstrates the fact if you give a politician power, they'll use it to attempt to gain more power, or at least to prevent loss of power, perceived or otherwise.
Are you stupid? Have a look around mate. We have the least amount of freedom we have ever had. You can go to prison for a Facebook post. What you're terrified of has already happened. Pull your head out your arse and wake up.
Yet, you're cheering on this shit show? You're either seriously damaged, or a troll. Which is it?
At least yours isn't.
