Rexzooly3528yOK I just did a lovely comment this little window close and lost all my work, little pissed there.
Anyway my comment was put most simple, I want to know if dev's are taking is on board, AKA adding hooks so these back doors can be added, adding the back doors now, or standing up for there users and not adding them at all, and why to each option if they did do it or didn't do it. -
Rexzooly3528y@Artemix Thanks for you view and input and I with you on it, also I hear a lot that the US is now thinking of pushing there own bills in to law like the UK did as the UK was able to do it, The US and China both had taken big interest here and that is scary in its own right.
I will still be making apps and tools and researching ways to keep moden tech safe, my major one at the moment is windows 10, sadly it as LOADS of tricks to get around normal VPN's IP blocks as windows does not offer no true IP6 blocking and most UK modems form ISP's don't middle man devices can be the answer on older hardware but Intel and other hardware creators have already been looked at again as back door like holes in there hardware are showing up, back doors at a low level like bios/firmware and hardware is kind of scary.
Love to hear from everyone lol it can be a mad ideas pro and cons to the new laws long as its got the dev side of it not politics side :) -
osmarks8668yIt's not as if there's much that can be done short of somehow getting a technically competent government with notions of privacy in. As someone who also lives in the UK this also worries me.
-
Rexzooly3528y@osmarks It does worry me but I not going to let them win, I am going to find some way to protect my freedom of speech F the UK, but my view on that is my view as a person my view as a dev is another side of it as its like what should we do, what loop holes can we use and so on.

@Rexzooly Only loopholes I can think of are hosting data from Sweden(maybe won't work) and being a company operating in Sweden
-
Rexzooly3528y@Stefan7650606 out of country hosting at the moment might work but it will get to the point they just firewall it like they have done with SO many services that don't follow what they want.
-
@Rexzooly Then announce that you don't provide services in countries where maintaining privacy is impossible
-
Rexzooly3528y@Stefan7650606 That just lets them win, what is bull, also I live in one of them countries, making it harder for them countries now what the good idea for now, as its not illegal to encrypt data, also create ways to flow data so its never centralized, well its not illegal yet.

Rexzooly3528y@Artemix I said it many times in the open post the UK, its the most spied on country in the world now.

The new UK law for data sharing with the governments is crazy with making it law for service providers to hold data of browsing history and big sites like google, facebook so on to retain human readable access to there data is they offer a service to the UK, what steps do we take to protect the data, service but also follow this law I can't see anything that would make any sense to be able to follow this law.
What are your views and ideas going forward, at the moment the UK as made it law even tho the EU said stop this madness, so lets take it as red its there, is there sense-able way to do this or are we going to have to provide UK users data a means to be back doored?
