The UK & EU are becoming straight up commie now. They need a revolution to extricate themselves from the globalists who have bought out all their politicians.

The NSA already archives all your data. The United States does that now.

The proposal cites the prevention of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) as its justification.

Of course it does. Do you want to bet that is all its going to be used for?

NSA is not scanning messages before encryption or the application of IP security protocols. They might be able to break some, but I don’t think they can break the good 256-bit encryption algorithms.

I would take the other side of that bet.

with 19 out of 27 tyranical power drunk EU member states reportedly backing the measure. All they need is a national salute to pass the measure.

The NSA has been doing this for years.

If you want privacy get a dog—and talk to him deep in the woods.

All male residents of the EU must now grow a toothbrush mustash and signify their acceptance by extending their right arm and hand high in the air while saying “hail victory”.

And leave your cell phone at home.
