This is the governments of the world's greatest attempt so far to throw back the visible truth of the Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace.

I wish them all the miserable stinking ridiculous failure in the world. I fully expect this to be a wretched daemonic cursed ill begotten mess, destroying base privacy and security & bringing about little but fuck ups and bad. So much of it false flagged to protect children: two faced liars selling the destruction of civic rights & decency with false motive.

The irony of uploading a paywalled link.

Knowing full well that only those who can afford the cost can read it.

Its not as if the news cannot be found at a thousand other websites and is most probably lifted and copied from other sources.

I used to pay for the news when I was working. I used to buy the guardian every day when it was 50p, to read on the 90 minute journey by train into the city.

fucked if I am going to pay some copy and paste merchant.
