Mother always said I'd wind up joining the unmaker to sing the song of ending, always sounded strange the way she said it, didn't help that she'd get a little cross-eyed and speak in a different voice entirely.

Also May won't make Farage US ambassador for maximum kekles
In all seriousness I get it, she cannot afford to have the UK running a parallel authority, stuck between May and Farage, and his orange friend. Still disappointing :P

I think this is (particularly in regards to censorship of pornography) a case that there's not a mother or father in the UK who would disagree that their child should not have access to pornography, particularly given how extreme the internet takes its /d/egeneracy. More than that, I think the pornography industry is too powerful and unethical, but all the same is very hard to kill because the demand for it is ingrained in modern psyche (and may very well be ingrained in human DNA).

This is concerning, but we were always at war with eastasia ~o.o~

Inside my soul is a part of me that considers Edward Snowden best waifu and that mass surveillance is not the way to go. Yet no one cared then, nor cares now, and they are happy to let private corporations control what information they receive and what information they collect. It made that part of my soul go quiet. Thus I look on the bright side; May is martially aware of security matters, unlike Hammond who didn't know how the planes he was funding would land on the carriers he was funding (which to my dismay, I found out on the weekend) :/
Will May succeed in controlling the internet? Probably not, any time soon, but she'll probably succeed in making anonymity an increasing rarity and online accountability more common. This has disturbing consequences for shitposting tbh, I'm thinking back to when Cameron was going on about how tinfoil ppl were as dangerous as ISIS, even though that was blatantly untrue. Not too hard to label small people as tinfoil and then crush them unnoticed so rip in pese shitposting in the future

It honestly pains me to see the US and the UK eagerly playing the roles created for them in 1984.

It is even complete with machine generated pulp news and culture, now that big data is a thing.

The US loves watching peoples thoughts, and the UK loves watching peoples bodies, and the two are perfectly OK with creating common narrative for why they do these things, and even to indulge the other in their shameless kink of choice.

I'm just waiting for the party to officially declare itself these days.

EDIT: 'The censorship regime has led to bizarre understandings between the producers and regulators, Barnett said. One is the “four-finger rule”, which limits the number of digits that can be inserted into an orifice for sexual stimulation.'

I hope my kids ask about this in the future, for some kind of history project. Where were you when t. May started telling us how many fingers we were allowed to shove in our orifices?
Don't be a fool. The goverment is only restricting the number of digits you can shove in for sexual stimulation. Other purposes (research, healthcare, scratching) are wholly unrestricted

Ashely Madison is a website that allegedly helps wealthy married male clients hook up with attractive women who want to help such men cheat on their wives.

The reality is that the site's "female" population is about 70% chatterbots, but that aside, a number of eager, wealthy males have registered with the site.

Given the demographic (wealthy men, willing and able to waste money for pleasure, lots of them registered in one place) the site was a big target for identity thieves and blackmail artists, who hacked the site about 4 months ago, and made off with the user credentials store.

Next time, add a "/s" or similar designator of snide sarcasm. ;P

The man responsible for the murder of member of parliament Joe Cox prior to the Brexit referendum, Thomas Mair, has been sentenced to lifelong imprisonment. Even though he has not made any statement in court at all, as to his motives, and admitted not denied guilt, the prosecutor said they managed to mace a clear case, that his act was an act of pure hatred.

Joe Cox campaigned to remain in the EU. While Mair killed her with gunfire and knife stabs, he screamed "this is for Great Britain", and "Britain first".
The judge ruled: "with your actions, you have betrayed the essence of our nation: dedication to parliamentary democracy"

Mair's bookshelves, and browser history showed the police that Mair had strong interest in nazis, white supremacy and Apartheid. According to the justice department, the murder clearly had a political or ideological motivation.

Also here's an interesting idea no one's considered. Britain not triggering article 50(2)

*EDIT
Oh, and Martinuzz, you really kill me with posting news excerpts without any sources. It KILLS me. Makes it just a little bit harder to sift through disinfo, mistakes & bs. Your post for example has some inaccuracies
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
See how much detail is lost without a juicy source as close to the primary as possible? It's like Chinese whispers, the more lax you get, the more truth gets lost

The Prime Minister has been blamed by ministers and civil servants for her “terrible handling” of Mr Trump’s election win and allowing “a vacuum” to be created that was “filled by Nigel Farage”.
The backlash came after Mr Trump, the president-elect, urged Mrs May to make Mr Farage Britain’s ambassador to America.
There were claims from two sources that David Davis, the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union secretary, “spoke regularly” with the interim Ukip leader, with one saying that Mr Davis “knows Nigel well”.
Senior Whitehall figures on Tuesday turned on Downing Street, accusing Mrs May’s most senior officials of “failing to engage properly” before and immediately after Mr Trump’s shock election win.

You shouldn't let other people pick your ambassadors. It's insane that anyone thought granting Trump's request was a reasonable idea.

That bit about not actually being required to go through with Article 50(2) does make the whole "UK has to do it NOW" stuff seem really sketchy.

Not as sketchy as the shit you find in the dark corners of the net where prohibited porn lurks, though. I mean, holy fuckbags, let's ignore people crapping on kids while dogs fuck them so we can argue over whether the four finger rule applies to fingers from one hand, two fingers from two hands, one finger from four different people, or if the provision accounts for simultaneous involvement of multiple orifices! Do thumbs count as a finger? What about people who have lost a finger or two? Is an amputee nubbing someone acceptable? I mean, clearly it's more acceptable than the copropedobeastiality horrorshows out there, but goddamn, I thought we had some prudish issues over here in the US.
