Trump's tech deal will subordinate UK to America

Given the UK's recent attempts at regulating technology and encryption, even America has a better outlook. And that's saying a lot.

Give us a few months, we still have yet to make Discord testify for radicalizing our youth. The long-term outlook does not look like green grass for either side.

Eh, unlike the UK's actual laws that were on the books while the things you describe are a circus to make the supporters happy. No new law will go into effect after Mr. Steam testifies.

The UK's actions so far are real, lawful steps taken to seriously infringe the ability to have privacy when communicating or storing things electronically.

Brexit subordinated the UK to America. (And before that, nuclear subordination.)

What’s happening now has been inevitable since the British political system, frankly, showed itself unable to govern its own.
