David Cameron stated today that he would ban encryption and any services that use encryption, like snapchat and whatsapp..
This comes because of the recent attacks in paris....

So because the *snoopers charters* bill got scrapped, they now are trying to revive it but with more powers...
It sickens me that there was attacks, but it sickens me more that Governments around the world use them as an excuse to further take away our basic rights 1 at a time, until they get full power over everything, this is not freedom, this is not free speech, this is becoming very much like 1984...

This is fcuk all to do with the net, and everything to do with French security services fcking up. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Sometimes i do wonder if they ever consult and think of everything before they make these ridiculous new laws and make these speeches...
But what is more ridiculous is the fact that the attacks happened in France, *not the UK* and it was on land, not internet, but yet Mr Cameron thinks this is right??
cctv and sound mountain equipment into our homes>:(
microchip implant us so they can monitor where we are>:(
yep :P well said
It's a desperate excuse that is being used to try and make the internet in the UK more 'open'.
it would like to only give certain people the vote.
They already know where we are, GPS in every phone and car sat nav!!!!
but if you've got a top up phone they don't know who you are.
I just made this thread when i found out this shocking news like an hour ago, and i just added my personal view on it, the links i posted in my OP is the news on it....
But my views are as many of the population, totally against this type of thing happening..
may can't come ******* quick enough >:(
True, i used to always have pre paid phones, but now i use a contract one, o well :P
i think mindless drones, that do as told by government are the only ones agreeing with this
Unfortunately Labour are just as for this as Cameron. Our whole political class are a generation totally swivel eyed about the internet. They actually know nothing beyond amazon, facebook and twitter.
Yep, Politicians always contradict themselves, it is what makes them politicians...
hahaha true
