The sooner we all realize we've been divided for the gain of others "up the chain", the better for ourselves
There is power in the population and keeping us divided is how they win!

My mum is in her late 80s and she and her elderly friends all say they are relieved that they will be spared the insidious horrors of this modern world.
If you're not going to post your medical credentials and education credentials in detail, along with direct verifiable evidence, then I'm just going to ignore your nonsense. No one in the medical world believes such nonsense, and we're the ones doing the actual work, the research, the treatment, and the cures.
All this does is distract people from what is actually happening. We have H5N1 rapidly jumping species, a billionaire unelected immigrant taking over our government finances at the IT level, the UK demanding backdoor access...I could go on and on...but sure, let's perpetuate nonsense about bat viruses. What is your local government doing, your city council, your school board, your state legislature?
Do better.

You shouldn’t be so sure of yourself. Play from 1 hour 24 minutes:
Main stream media doesn’t cover incorrect hate crime arrests unless they have an agenda.
I mean, I don't know anything about this case or UK speech laws (other than that I understand that there is less protection of speech in the UK than the US), I can certainly see why someone posting online "if he doesn't stop someone is going to kill him" about the leader of the country would get the poster investigated.
Of course, if it turns out the person was in fact disabled and doesn't have the mental capacity to understand what they were posting, then that is a mitigating circumstance and should have ended the investigation, but given how someone recently tried to assassinate the former and now again-President of the United States while campaigning a few months ago, it seems inherently reasonable to look into someone saying things like that.
As the article points out, what would stop the UK from having access to all iCloud data? And what about tourists just passing through? I’d love to visit the UK again, but I don’t want to have to wipe my phone to do it. This is straight up fascism.
Isn't TalkTV a Rupert Murdoch entity?
Scanning a few of the channels video thumbnails and the headlines, I'd honestly recommend branching out a bit on the news sources
They are… but they aren’t being benevolent when they say it. They’re all quite envious of the power their government holds.
How many law enforcement agencies have been found guilty of accessing data without court permission? Several. This whole thing requires trust on the governments, which I do not. Governments have been found accessing data to which they have no right and did so without a court order.
Beyond the governments, once there is a way into a system, someone will find a way in without oversight. Nothing is 100% secure at all times from all entities. The trick is to make it so difficult that it is not worth the effort.
- Download and use Signal messenger
- Download the Tor browser
- Install the TAILS operating system onto a USB stick
- Also if you have an old pc you no longer use install a free Linux distro
the law's already passed, were you not paying attention?
As someone who makes a point of seeking out multiple news sources, I have a slight problem with comments like this one. Something that becomes obvious to me when I look at different news sources is that their ideological slant is often less about the accuracy of an individual story than about what it chooses to play up/report, or bury/not report.
I’m not commenting on this particular story because I have not taken the time to look into it, but it seems to me if it is true, the question becomes, why was it not reported in other “non-Murdoch” outlets? The point is, the comment suggests the other party is only consulting a narrow set of sources with a particular bias. This may or may not be the case.
My comment is strictly aimed at the Murdoch part
No offense to you is meant, but he's not operating in good faith and never has been
He played a massive role in laying the ground work to get the US where it is now with how he ran Fox News from its inception
His outlets are never really trying to be "fair and balanced", which is the fully gaslighting slogan Fox News uses.
With respect, I just can't trust anything he's financing or owns, as the track record of the behavior is now very long
His incentives are divisiveness and highly partisan
Incentives matter
News outlets can and do get things wrong -- it's inevitable
His entities are not all interested in a factual and fair record -- they don't even correct the record when appropriate
I'm sure this comment will be offensive to some
I know how this goes -- I have a couple family members who were fully destroyed by Fox News drumming into their brain for decades ... and they are flat out insane at this point
This has nothing to do with the EU. This is the UK.
You're thinking of the sitcom Comrade Dad. "Comrade Dad is a BBC satirical sitcom set in 1999 in Londongrad, the capital of the USSR-GB, after the United Kingdom has been invaded by the Soviet Union and turned into a communist state. The programme focussed on the Dudgeon family (starring George Cole as Reg Dudgeon) and their attempts to adapt to the new order."
Let's hope you're not a non US citizen going to the US, got some bad news for you...
Hah. Normally in cases like this I'd say I hope Apple tell the UK government where to stick their demand, but I don't think that even needs saying in this case, there isn't a chance in heck they'd comply with this.
Instead, let them disable their services in the UK and see how that turns out for Labour come the next General Election. Of course, if Labour win anyway I'll have egg on my face and my iCloud won't work...

You are aware of what they did in China, right?
(complied)
As a corporation, you comply with governments
Even US citizens at the border have significantly fewer rights.
U.S. citizens re-entering the country are subject to search by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers, including searches of electronic devices like phones and laptops. CBP has the authority to conduct these searches without a warrant or probable cause. They can't prohibit you from re-entering the country if you're American (but can if you're not a citizen), but they can seize your device and hold you for questioning.
Not the same though. This would be a fundamental breaking of iCloud security, for everyone.
Correct. I also don't like it or want it
But corporations don't get to "not comply with the government", as you'd said they would likely do
There have been many efforts to ban encryption in the World, including in the EU I believe
Our data is in harms way
