End-to-end encryption; the will of the British people

https://element.io/blog/end-to-end-encryption-the-will-of-the-british-people/

Ideally, this section would introduce a guarantee that this type of notice would not be imposed on providers of end-to-end encrypted communications. Instead it relies on questionable concepts such as “accredited technology” to wistfully wave some form of assurance that ‘this sort of thing’ is technically possible and it’ll all be fine, secure and appropriate.

Be under no illusion; “accredited technology” is no more reassuring than a lock which can be opened by a skeleton key.

It’s this aspect of the Online Safety Bill - the potential for undermining of end-to-end encryption - that we refute as completely flawed. It is not possible to have both secure communications and blanket surveillance, in the same way you cannot “have your cake and eat it.”

#Britain is used to #crises now. But this widespread #hopelessness is new – and frightening

Source: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/25/britain-crises-hopelessness-market-towns-suburbs

Now, I hear echoes of the weariness and bafflement I used to associate with the post-industrial places whose furies took us out of the EU, but this time in our market towns and suburbs. I worry about that. I think we all should.

#BorisJohnson’s legacy? He has ruined #Britain’s place in the world | #MichaelHeseltine | The Guardian

"The former PM’s insistence to ‘Get Brexit Done’ is the biggest historic mistake this country has made in peacetime"

For those who don't know, Heseltine was a Tory MP and was Deputy Prime Minister under John Maor.

The removal of our international human right to protest is terrifying

We should all be terrified at the authoritarian removal of our international human right to peaceful protest.

You can now be arrested in the UK, just as in Russia, for merely holding a placard – or even being suspected of even thinking about doing so.

Indeed, earlier this year, 10 Downing street said that the bill would mean that “police will not need to wait for disruption to take place and can shut protests down before chaos erupts.” This, indeed, is vague enough to include everything – and exclude nothing.

From the past news: president of south sudan peed his pants, cameraman and crew were arrested for not cutting off the feed fast enough

This is the "Democracy" the western media is trying to make you believe is at stake in Sudan! Reading news and listening to all the people talking nonsense about Sudan as it is the Switzerland of Africa and the beacon of democracy and prosperity, now being under attack by those playing the cards of the evil Putin, makes me sick.

Again and again, we hear and read the same utter nonsense about the greatness of our western values in the world and how we stand for what is right and what is humane, but in reality, almost all the time, when it comes to developing country, our only interests are in getting access to cheap minerals, their oil, their cheap agriculture and to block and prevent the other guys to have them.

In the mean time, our planet is moving fast forward to the catastrophe our capitalist mindset has pushed us toward. Our oceans are rising, our glaciers are melting, hurricanes floods and droughts are becoming so common that no one even cares to report them any more, unless they happen in one of the "developed" countries where their lives matter.

I know I am talking into an empty space venting and not many people care to even read this, we will be busy watching the next BS story about Trump or Macron or Sunak or what ever other ass hole leader our beloved media shoves into our faces. No one has time or energy to care about the victims of the wars in places many can't even find on the map.

Aircraft from the Japanese Self-Defense Force alongside Military Aircraft from the United States, #France, #Britain, #Germany, and #SouthKorea have arrived in #Djibouti in order to prepare for a Joint-Military Operation to Evacuate Foreign Nationals and Diplomats still in Sudan.

I am so fucking tired of this so called New World Order. How many millions have to die for the world powers to just let people live their lives as they wish? How much money and power do they need? How much MORE power and money do they need? It just no end to this madness.

Leaked Document Appears to Show NATO Special Operations Forces are in Ukraine

The document says just under 100 troops from the US, Britain, France, and Latvia are in Ukraine

A trove of leaked documents detailing plans about Ukraine’s spring military offensive and circulating online reportedly imply that French soldiers are present on the battlefield in Ukraine. According to the Guardian, “one slide suggested that a small contingent of less than a hundred special operations personnel from NATO members France, America, Britain and Latvia were already active in Ukraine.”

The material reportedly also includes information on Ukraine’s readiness and training capabilities as well as death tolls.

It’s unclear who originally obtained and leaked the documents, and the extent to which they may have been altered. It could also be “a Russian disinformation operation,” U.S. officials said.

“The documents cited do not come from the French military. We do not comment on documents whose source is uncertain,” Lecornu’s team also told Le Monde.
