also @UnitedKingdom is about to destroy themselves.

Good job Theresa. Let someone who actually is competent in the realm of technology make decisions.

@Zanna I'd highly recommend leaving that country immediately. If what people want to happen does happen, there will be no such thing as security at all.

but java is objectively better than Go.

Why learn Go when Java exists and is still alive?

@KazWolfe yeah I'm on it :(

But could you point out what you're actually referring to?

I'm still trying to deal with the prospect of abortion becoming illegal...

Seth

May's views on encryption/the internet, likely.

Kaz Wolfe

Seth

I'm still confused about the election thingy though.

Kaz Wolfe

in short, if May's rules pass, there will be no encryption in the UK.

Seth

I have no idea how UK politics work.

You couldn't visit any website without the entire world being able to see.

Zanna

Yeah terrifying stuff

Kaz Wolfe

All passwords in all plaintext.

Zanna

@Seth appallingly

Kaz Wolfe

No more secure banking.

They'd have to block access to GitHub, Wikipedia, StackExchange, and pretty much any other open internet.

Zanna

Well hopefully rich people and corporations will tell her it's insane

Seth

Jun 12, 2017 05:05

@Zanna haha. Doesn't all government. Doesn't all government.

Kaz Wolfe

The only sites you'd be able to visit for this to work would be a walled garden where the government controls or screens 100% of content

Zanna

She will listen to them

Seth

hahahaha

Kaz Wolfe

@Zanna but terrorism! you don't support this, you are a terrorist! /s, obviously, but this is how they think.

Zanna

Thanks for laying it out Kaz :D

Kaz Wolfe

Jun 12, 2017 05:06

it's my job.

Seth

May isn't stupid. She knows it won't affect terrorism. All the recent bombers had already been reported as extremists. It's about control.

More people need to realize that.

Zanna

@KazWolfe yeah completely. You have nothing to hide if you're not a terrorist! Who needs a secret password if they are innocent?

Kaz Wolfe

of course, but that's the guise.

Zanna

Seth

@KazWolfe right

Kaz Wolfe

Jun 12, 2017 05:07

they can't say "control", they need to say something that people dislike.

of course, criminals would still have encryption.

Seth

well stay safe @Zanna. Not many places you can go to escape it really, but any western country but the UK should be safe for a few more years, I think. Can't say I'd recommend the US though.

Kaz Wolfe

heh, if this passes, i legally won't be able to enter the UK. i know the equations for RSA.

Seth

I gotta go to bed.

Zanna

Goodnight, take care xxx

Kaz Wolfe

Remember: 1984 was a warning, not a manifesto!

Zanna

@KazWolfe when knowledge in your head is illegal, we are all screwed

Seth

I'd say we're screwed the minute we are not longer allowed to express it, which usually comes before banning the thought.

Kaz Wolfe

you can't ban thought, that's downright impossible. but you can make it impossible to think those thoughts.

Zanna

@Seth sure, but Kaz was talking about just knowing something!

Kaz Wolfe

@Zanna more meant of a joke, but yes. if you can't look up RSA equations online, I don't think they'd be happy about someone coming in with it in memory.

(of course, you can choose not to disclose it)

Seth

@Zanna ah, true.

Zanna

In other news, my mortal enemy Michael Gove has been made environment secretary. You really couldn't make this stuff up

Reality out-satirises the most ridiculous satire in politics these days

Kaz Wolfe

yes, it does.

don't worry, soon saying that will get you a life sentence for high treason.
