do you know how long it took to get over msn

 

i cant handle this again

[Vertigo]

In all seriousness I doubt this will ever come to pass. It would be challenged.

 

But it's been a laugh this afternoon seeing the 'politics don't matter' people on my FB and twitter losing their heads over the potential of this. Certain people lives would be over if this really did happen.

Whos gnna oppose it ?

Everyone, they already are, government advisory bodies have told him his dumb

Cameron is just playing up to dumb old Tories scared of technology, there's no way this can even be legislated, a password is encryption, most servers encrypt all user data in case you're hacked so that gone, imagine Google being forced to store your login info in a plain text file on an insecure server.

You won't be able to do online banking

Book plain tickets

Buy pizza online because online payment systems are encrypted.

It's like that drugs bill where they want to ban anything that alters the me tal state,you know, like coffee or sugar, its American tea party politics, just say random shit that sounds good to the hard line conservatives, doesn't matter if it makes sense

Unless you're using pgp, your shit can and will be read by these fucks.

This shit is just trying to legitimise what they already do.
