Parliamentarians urge next UK govt to consider ban on smartphones for under-16s

Nanny state

Ban this, ban that ... this is getting out of control and will get worse under Labour.

Why don't we just give up and let the do-gooders tell us exactly how to live our lives?

You know, a bit like North Korea? I hear the people there are very happy.

EU probes Telegram, because size matters for regulators

'Disinformation' is nothing new, but in the EU (and for the Democrats in the U.S. and their kindred Chinese Communist Party) it now means 'anything we disagree with or that exposes our lies or hypocrisy'.

I've often wondered how much The Reg is getting to join the WEF global censorship bandwagon.

The same Reg that has old curmudgeons banging on about how bad AI is. Definitely the kind of people who are on the wrong side of history.

Never mind. The good old European Union will protect consumers from unmitigated greed and abuse by big corporations.

Oh wait, never mind.

At least they will protect us from cookies though.

Disease X fever infects Davos: WEF to plan response to whatever big pandemic is next

I'm pretty certain gain-of-function research is being undertaken as we speak to manufacture said various (funded by Bill Gates et al as well as unwilling taxpayers).

Sounds like a fabulous excuse to justify the new vaccine passport system too. The WEF agenda is moving along nicely.

Doesn't El Reg get some money from Davos?

Free software pioneer Richard Stallman is battling cancer

This the same Richard Stallman who advocates for forced experimental vaccines? Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!

Google says that YouTube vid can wait if it saves on energy

'YouTube video can wait if the NHS needs your power'

Spoken like a good and true little green communist goody two-shoes.

Always remember that we exist for the NHS, not the other way around.

I can't wait until the Reg starts cheerleading for personal carbon allowances, too. Just like all the other so-called freedom lovers (Richard Stallman loves the idea of forcing people to take experiment injections against their will), it turns out that the technocratic types do actually want to live under a system of severely curtailed liberty slash dictatorship - just so long as it's justified by a form of scientism that they believe in.

Face it: you're the religious puritan fanatics of the 21st century, imposing scarcity and pain on others in a world full of plenty simply because you hate humanity.

IBM US staff must be fully vaccinated by December – or go back to bed without pay

The intense level of unmitigated hatred shown here by those who believe they are terribly smart towards 'anti-vaxxers', and in many cases outright wishing that they would die, and in some cases even advocating for their death, is a good reason to have concern. This is very reminiscent of witch hunts and racial lynchings whipped up by similar undercurrents of hatred and intolerance.

YOU'RE vaxxed. Why do you care if others are or aren't?

Are you looking forward to vaxxing little babies and children, too?

Are you looking forward to regular 'boosters' and the Vaxx Passport?

Are you looking forward to intensifying totalitarian control by governments?

You may not be sheep (I'd liken you to wolves), but you are certainly 'little pawns'.

Amazon spies on staff, fires them by text for not hitting secretive targets, workers 'feel forced to work through pain, injuries' – report

Re: I wonder how many UK Amazon workers voted for brexit?

What are the conditions like at Amazon for IT workers?

The English Nanny State Knows Best.

Know your role, peasants. Do as you're told. That's English liberty for you.
