\"UK<\/a>
UK Flag: \u00a0Target locked. Cameras on.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>

If you live in the UK, as unreal as this sounds, Big Brother is coming<\/a>, and he has access to see every website you\u2019ve ever visited,<\/strong>\u00a0if you are not using an anonymizer, such as Tor or a VPN<\/a>. \u00a0<\/strong>Recently, the UK and David Cameron have come under scrutiny due to a backwards censorship bill<\/a>.\u00a0 However, given this latest proposal, it looks like they love the spotlight, that is, putting a spotlight<\/em> on people\u2019s private activities.<\/p>\n

\u2022 \u2022 \u2022<\/p>\n

The honorable Queen of England has given a speech detailing a new Draft Communication Bill<\/a>\u00a0which will allow law enforcement and government officials to snoop on any UK citizens\u2019 internet connections. \u00a0This law, should it pass, will force providers in the UK and other service platforms to log every detail of a user\u2019s internet activity, including every website the user visits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is an enormous invasion of privacy. \u00a0While the FBI is currently attempting to push its own wiretapping program<\/a>, the UK may beat them to the punch. \u00a0It\u2019s not clear how quick or even if this bill will pass, but one thing is certain: \u00a0The UK and the US are going to do whatever it takes, until they can spy on you. \u00a0If you have ever made a deal, for instance, on a car and attempted to low ball a price to meet in the middle, you may see what is happening.<\/p>\n

The unfortunate truth to all this, however, is that technology companies will leave the US and the UK. \u00a0In history, the nations who controlled the newest technologies became superpowers. \u00a0If the US and the UK continues to drive technology companies away with draconian surveillance and privacy laws, there will be consequences.<\/p>\n

In other news, elections are coming soon in the US.<\/p>\n

EDIT:<\/p>\n

They backtracked<\/a>. \u00a0While it seems like a win for Privacy, this is the technique used, once again, when you first low-ball an offer to meet in the middle when buying a car.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
