"Uneasy"

Well that's a proportionate reaction.

Thanks, lawyers of the UK, a load of good you are.

That's a big problem in UK government, they employ hundreds of people to push for everyone to be more and more protected but not one person to argue for personal freedom or protection from the government. They have a lawyers to see if things can get snuck pass human rights laws and that's it.

And they are already talking about forcing amazon to spy on people through Alexas so this is already well ahead in the planning stages.
