Re: Freedome will be illegal in the UK

Come now, the snooper's charter was only ever about catching the dumb and technically ignorant out there. Admittedly, that is most people.

As for trying to crack down on VPN services that would end up as another pointless whack-a-mole game and seriously piss of business users. Of course the gov often dances to the red-top paper's stupid suggestions so there is a fair chance they would try, but again I suspect the real experts know your biggest risk are the local muppets who can buy knifes and rent a van, as we have seen recently.
