      I hate how people turn a blind eye to these things nowadays. They’re willing to give away their personal lives at the expense of the shittiest excuses out there. Privacy should be a necessity, ffs.

      Why don’t they just actually give their actual reason: to spy on UK citizens.

      To use children and criminals as a scapegoat for this attrocity is disgusting.
