UK has entirely gone off the deep end. The value they place on free speech is nearly zero.

It may soon not be safe for authors of any privacy or encryption software to visit it or live in it.

The way to fight this is to make and use so much encryption software that no private communications or storage stay unencrypted or non-private.

Westerners never had free speech in the first place. We are free to fight amongst one another, but if we ever act in a manner that endangers the Power that be, you don't live very long.

Thanks for saying the truth. Free speech is a concept that has been prostituted for political gain, but only for the already powerful. It has never been the case that you could publish the crimes of powerful people and get away with it. And especially now that US has embraced the path of authoritarianism and the government is actively harassing and ridiculing journalists, as well as pulling funding for libraries and schools, a cornerstone of democracy, freedom, and justice. Values the US has abandoned in exchange for oligarchy.
