I don&#x27;t like this at all, especially in a world where we are finding out so many top scientists lied or fabricated data in their research. The PRESIDENT of Stanford just resigned!<p>It&#x27;s clear we cannot trust the institutional powers to self-regulate and do the right thing.

One question to UK fellas: is it me or the UK is becoming some sort of a surveillance state right in front of us just like china?

UK MPs: &quot;We&#x27;re very worried about people debunked due to their repulsive beliefs&quot;. Also UK MPs: &quot;We believe ISPs should be able to deinternet people&#x27;s views based an arbitrary computer models of dubious accuracy.&quot;<p>How long before these two views are exposed as contradictory? (Or do they just resolve that internally as &quot;we only support dewhatevering people we don&#x27;t like&quot;?)

Aside from &quot;the dark web,&quot; are there any efforts to create an impossible-to-censor parallel version or subset of the internet?

Sadly, to paraphrase a now deceased UK judge: &quot;Due process is whatever the government of the day says it is.&quot;

The Great Firewall of China will become the norm of the internet not the outlier.

&quot;Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of everyday routine, the security of the familiar, the tranquillity of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, whereby those important events of the past, usually associated with someone&#x27;s death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, are celebrated with a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the fifth, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are, of course, those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn&#x27;t there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who&#x27;s to blame? Well, certainly, there are those who are more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable. But again, truth be told, if you&#x27;re looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn&#x27;t be? War, terror, disease. They were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic, you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night, I sought to end that silence. Last night, I destroyed the Old Bailey to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago, a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words; they are perspectives. So if you&#x27;ve seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you, then I would suggest that you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me, one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot.&quot;

It&#x27;s &quot;Online Harms (to the UK royalty) Bill&quot;. The lords and dukes are very worried.

Do they not realize that they will kill democracy in the process?
