Privacy hasn't been a thing for years. That said, most people aren't really that interesting to have an FBI agent watching them all the time, and it's not like they have unlimited resources and manpower to handle everything you do. What they do with the data they gather from you is pass it onto an algorithm (or AI) to make a psycological profile of you, usually to sell you stuff, but it can also be used for political purposes which I think is the worst and most sinister aspect about it.
It's about to become even dead-er in the UK - but hopefully instead it will bring the government down.
They can spy on me if they want, all they'll find is gay porn and random Google searches about rare diseases because I get bored easily.
First of all, they might find something they like, secondly, how rare we talking about
Only premium content for me
I got lost in fatal insomnia and got terrified that I couldn't fall asleep lol. Kept me on my toes though so that's always a plus.

That's awful! Look like threat our and people privacy and personal info. Not sure if anyone can spoofing IP address, random user agent name, etc to fool man in middle, evil government, hackers or not?
This Online Safety Bill of the U.K. goes along with the Digital ID they announced some months ago. I only remembered the Digital ID thing after reading this thread's title.
Well, looks like England is trying to eliminate whatever privacy they have left. Even a VPN won't necessarily help them too much.

Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
