    I’m not from England, but damm this is absolutely terrible. England already has a LOT of cameras everywhere to track people. They work hard to try and track people everywhere. Hence why this is scary cause this might actually go through due to how anti-privacy they seem to be.

      They do track a lot, for no real good reason either. Most of the cctv systems you see are blurry, especially at distance, storage of high quality video takes a lot of space and money I guess. It’s a crime deterrent at best but lately most criminals don’t really give a damn, you see wannabe gangsters riding around on bicycles or scooters with balaclavas on, so the real criminals can blend right in with the wannabes. Police presence only seems to exist when football is being played also. This joke of a country could do with a reset button, probably been that way for a long time.

    Uk really is one of the worst countries with regards to privacy. Always trying to pass some shit that enables them to spy on you. Last year they wanted backdoors in all messengers, now this.

      Intellectual property are rights for the rich. A perversion of science and art used to commercialize our culture. Creating artificial scarcity while denying that all science and art are built from copying and iterative development.

      We could abolish it completely and it would cause an explosion of creativity and innovation like we have never seen before.

      In theory, the law applies to everyone. In practice, it doesn’t apply to rich entities.

        It’s Lisa looking at a sign that reads:

        “Keep Out”

        “Or Enter. I’m a sign, not a cop.”

    I support this if it applies to everyone, not just AI. We should be able to use everything that we see as well
