How they would prosecute a person for "private remarks"? Just the word of the accuser already counts to lock someone up? It's not like this is open for abuse at all!

Coming to Scotland soon.

Also Apple is doing this https://sneak.berlin/20201112/your-computer-isnt-yours/

Get rid of all your smart devices. Stop using Windows and OSX. Time to shift to Linux if you have not already done so. Learn security.

No microphones or cameras allowed in my house. Privacy is ALL we have between free thought and Jail. Act now!
