do they make kids read “1984” there as a vision of what an amazing future they have ahead of them?
I said "modern propaganda", not the origins of propaganda. The scope and effectiveness of the UK's WWI propaganda had theretofore never been done in the history of mankind. And Godwin's law doesn't apply since Adolf Hitler himself directly referenced the subject matter I'm speaking to, ie the UK's WWI propaganda campaign.I hereby invoke Godwin's Law!
Anyway, you're wrong about the origins of "political propaganda":

The Secret History Of Political Propaganda - Database Football
Propaganda, or the purposeful transmission of information designed to persuade and influence primarily through emotion rather than fact-based debate, is used in many social fields: marketing, religion, and politics each rely on propaganda to persuade and inform consumers, congregants, citizens...sciencetrends.com
Guns are designed to hurt living things, they are weapons. Encryption is designed to protect information. They are different kind of tools. Your post was basically saying that wearing a mask during robbery making it hard to find the criminal so that we should ban masks.The problem for tech companies that use end to end encryption on their messaging platforms is that for the past number of years the UK authourities have had a number of investigations running involving child related crimes and one of the things that has come out of these investigations is the amount of people involved using messaging systems that use end to end encryption to prevent law enforcement from checking messages, thereby thwarting law enforcement into taking action against those people.
Many have heard the term 'Guns are not the problem, it's the people that use them'. Well defenders of end to end encryption use the same, 'end to end encryption is not the problem, it's the people that use it'.
UK law enforcement want end to end encryption removed because it will enable them to catch people involved in child related crimes who use end to end encryption devices to message one another so they can evade the police.
"Here comes the new bossThe hypocrisy stinks! The sooner we replace them all, the better.
other than the dah factor, while this argument is completely valid, how does it justify the loss of the right to privacy? Sure only bad guys will be targeted, not political opponents, no corrupt cops will use information meant to be private (and totally legal).

But you'd just replace them with a separate shower of *****. The idea that the Labour Party with its cranks and nutters would be noticeably better is delusional.The current UK government is rotten to its absolute core. It all starts with the Leader and they say turd flows down… There is no opposition either, most of our MPs seem hellbent and desperate to give away the hard won freedoms that previous generations fought and died for. Those men will be turning in their graves…
Throughout this whole Covid drama we’ve had MPs - not to mention other relatively high profile people - flout the rules that they were party to creating, voting for and administering. Some, like Nadhim Zarhawi and Michael Gove specifically, have outright lied saying they had no plans to bring in vaccine passports during interviews, then voting to bring them in. Everyone surely now knows that vaccine passports specifically, are completely and utterly pointless, in that both jabbed and unjabbed can transmit the Covid. Look at the countries with high uptake of the vaccines and their case numbers! Then there is Doris and his parties, not to mention his wife!
This will likely just be another example of one rule for us plebs and another rule for our so-called representatives. As others have pointed out, it’s happened before where these MPs and ministers have used unofficial channels, like WhatsApp, as @GaymerAdam mentioned.
The hypocrisy stinks! The sooner we replace them all, the better.
Ever so slightly over the top methinks...The UK government is one of the most horrible in the western world. No wonder CCTV capital of the world wants to read all your messages too.
Well people should take it seriously because that is the problem with the UK at the moment, the government, charities, councils and other child protection and welfare groups are using the excuse of 'think of the children' to erode everyone's privacy and if anyone dares to stand up for the rights to privacy, all of the mentioned then go on the attack and say 'so, you put the rights of privacy ahead of that of protecting the safety of children?'. Then the UK's media lambast defenders of right to privacy by accusing them of not putting the safety of children first.You forgot the /s.
People are going to take your comment seriously now.
That is what they say until they get the power. Then, they realize that same power can be used for political purposes. This is the real problem; the actual, but un-talked about real results. Do they plan it this way? Who knows. But for sure we know through 100s of years of history about government corruption that they will sure use the tool when it is available.UK law enforcement want end to end encryption removed because it will enable them to catch people involved in child related crimes who use end to end encryption devices to message one another so they can evade the police.
