RE: UK Wants Internet Regulated - Time For Decentralized Internet?

in #bitcoin7 years ago

I'm from the uk and I'm so tired of my government. You USA guys think you have it bad? Try my country, where the goverment can legally, and without a warrant hack any phone or computer and download or monitor it's contents. Disgusting! It's why I don't vote, between the Authoritarian Left and the Authoritarian Right there just isn't any point. Either way it's an assault to our personal freedoms.

Sort:  

Wow are you serious? I didn't know it was that bad. Im sorry to hear that. What are the gun laws like over there? With everything happening, I hope everyone has a means to protect themselves and their families.

The gun laws here are essentially you can have a gun for sporting purposes ONLY. Self defence is not a valid reason to have a gun and you will end up in prison if you end up using it for a home invasion. All pistols are banned, all semi auto rifles are banned with the exception of .22 rifles and semi auto shotguns and the process of acquiring a firearm is a long tedious task. Incedently, on home invasions, you are likely to end up in prison if the guy gets killed, even if you feel threatened. And if you hurt him, he can sue you and claim loss of earnings. Yeah... the uk, not exactly a bastion of personal freedom anymore. It's why so many of us move the America haha.

Yikes. good luck brotha. stay safe.
