Britain will become the first country in the world where it is impossible for children to take, share or view naked pictures on their devices.

Looks like some have to the come conclusion that the problem in “1984” was the dangerous lack of surveillance. This is a left-wing (Labour) government, btw.

Stuff like this is why I no longer want regulations to protect us from big tech. Thank you very much.

      I think Labour were left wing before, but they were compromised by right-wingers and now they are about as right wing as our right wing mainstream party, the conservatives.

      Pro-Israel, arresting activists, cutting welfare and disability benefits. I like to call them Forced Labour.

          sorry, are you asking in what way a party like green would be considered left wing in the UK?

              Labour focus on an economy that is for business. They think that austerity leads to growth (somehow). They basically sell themselves as neo liberals with a heart, but that heart isn’t in control of much.

              Greens as like the Labour of old. They focus on an economy that serves the population. They want to redistribute wealth away from corporations and banking, towards the rest of us, and services for the rest of us.
