The United Kingdom has a problem with the U.S.: It's that pesky Bill of Rights and our refusal to surrender our rights to Britain's censorship and due-process-busting domestic spying schemes.
Enter, stage right: Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
I reported earlier this week that 4chan's notorious internet pranksters hired a couple of big-name law firms, after Britain threatened the American-based company with a £20,000 fine, followed by hefty daily fines, if the group failed to impose Britain's censorship rules on 4chan's users everywhere in the world — including in the U.S.
4chan's representation called the actions of Britain's Office of Communications (Ofcom) an "illegal campaign of harassment against American technology firms."
But Britain's censorious Online "Safety" Act of 2023 isn't the only foreign threat to American freedoms. They also have their Orwell-inspired Investigatory Powers Act, which pitted His Majesty's Craptaculent Government up against one of the biggest companies in the world: Apple.

...Americans got a big win today, courtesy of Cupertino and the Trump White House.
Right now, she’s my frontrunner for 2028.
Maybe the Brits think we’re still incorporated in The City of London. DT ended that.
I disagree. She is new to the fold - let her prove herself over more time, with a hearty acknowledgement she id doing exactly what needs to be done as of right now.
It would be poetic justice if Tulsi became the first woman president.......
something Hillary was gung-ho for until Trump tripped her up.
She is amazing! Smart and pretty. And I think she is very pragmatic politically. I would like to see her as Secretary of State in a Vance/Rubio administration. I am not quite ready to see her as president or vice president because she was a Democrat not so long ago.
thanks Tulsi. you’re a patriot 1776 style!
SOS makes sense.....Peters Principle
Had to look that one up.
craptacular actually a word and defined as along the same vein as spectacular, but as awful as spectacular is good.
I didn’t expect to think that, but so far, she’s the most solid of all.
I think she was “radicalized” to our side (so to speak) when an entire team of Sky Marshals started going on every flight with her under the Safe Skies program.
Not Rubio... with McCain, he helped create ISIS and he’s a big Uke supporter. And then again, you never want a Cuban as President.
She wouldn't be the first former Democrat to be president. Ronald Reagan comes to mind.
Roger Stone, who helped guide a number of GOP presidential campaigns, has openly stated he thinks Gabbard will be the first woman president.
Donald Trump was a Democrat until 2009. Six years later he ran for president.
We should sanction that asshole.
It’s incredible
‘1984’ for real
The GOP has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to kick-ass potential POTUS candidates.
Vance is my #1 so far. A Vance-Rubio ticket would be attractive, but Rubio is more effective as SoS than as VP.
Tulsi and Kristi both are good.
Trump’s Cabinet is almost magical. Glad he had those four years to get his ducks in a row.
"Over the past few months, I’ve been working closely with our partners in the U.K., alongside POTUS and VPOTUS," Gabbard posted to X yesterday, "to ensure Americans' private data remains private and our Constitutional rights and civil liberties are protected." "As a result, the UK has agreed to drop its mandate for Apple to provide a 'back door' that would have enabled access to the protected encrypted data of American citizens and encroached on our civil liberties."
Didn’t this also include a bomb-sniffing dog and its handler?
Didn’t they also do the same to a black actor for the Babylon Bee, with a very African name?
No worries, Biden will get re-elected.
