From age and ID restrictions on the Internet, to charging rappers with “terrorism,” the U.K. is demolishing the most basic civil liberties. If we let them, U.S. leaders may be close behind.

As someone who immigrated to the UK I can tell you this is a bit of a stretch. I’m not exactly afraid of dying in a hate crime at a traffic stop or ICE agents beating down my door to detain me here.
But yeah, some internet liberties are being steadily revoked. Hardly the same fucking thing as literally fearing for your life each day because of your last name or the color of your skin.
Freedom today for safety tomorrow. That’s where it always starts. How far it’s allowed to go is TBD, but don’t worry, it’s for your own good.
