Manchester Attack Could Lead To Internet Crackdown (independent.co.uk)

New submitter boundary writes: The UK government looks to be about to put the most egregious parts of the Investigative Powers Act into force "soon after the election" (which is in a couple of weeks) in the wake of the recent bombing in Manchester. "Technical Capability Orders" require tech companies to break their own security. I wonder who'll comply? The Independent reports: "Government will ask parliament to allow the use of those powers if Theresa May is re-elected, senior ministers told The Sun. 'We will do this as soon as we can after the election, as long as we get back in,' The Sun said it was told by a government minister. 'The level of threat clearly proves there is no more time to waste now. The social media companies have been laughing in our faces for too long.'"

You're implying that there is something innately wrong with terrorism.

I believe that terrorism/guerrilla/freedom fighting is warranted in some circumstances. Though not for purely religious reasons. There has to be a political component that cannot be addressed peacefully -- and the Troubles fit that description.

Nah we just burn witches, torture heretics to death, murder gays, tell people not to use condoms (so they have no control over their lives and are easily manipulated), erect schools with the express purpose of brainwashing children (Jezuits: "give me a child until 7 and I will give you the man"). Christians commit terrorist attacks against Children (Oklahoma daycare bombing). All of these are identical to what ISIS is doing.

Fucking hang yourself tool.

It would appear that you are the tool. You're the one repeating nonsense that's been specifically drafted for your minute brain.
