The UK is quickly deploying surveillance state technology that people once decried China for. Whether or not this is ethical or useful, I wish the hypocrisy would be acknowledged. The OSA, the Apple encryption demands, LFR, …, it’s clearly a trend. Has society really become this dangerous that we must deploy these things?

No but the people have become so alienated and afraid as to demand it anyway.

There is barely any demand for this from the public and a fair bit of pushback. This is something the government is just trying to ram through regardless.
