    If we had truly wise leaders then they'd be able to balance the needs of protecting the populace without necessarily resorting to following the "1984" playbook. Unfortunately, I think the ease with with electronic surveillance of all types can be used has meant that it's become very attractive. Sorry for the digression.
    The security services have always called for more powers and it used to be the case that those powers were kept in check by our representatives, the people we elect.
    Sadly it seems our elected representatives have little understanding of the technology or the implications of what the security services are doing.

    Wow lol, I remember reading about something similar on Ars Technica. Difference was, it was about Chinese manufactured network devices and how the US govn has banned their usage.
