– Remember how the UK Police cuffed a stab victim until he bled out?
∟The UK Police will arrest you for getting assaulted
∟They’ll arrest you for silent conversations with God happening in your own head
∟They’ll intimidate you to modify your behavior when you’ve done nothing wrong
∟The Rape Gangs they said weren’t happening just got an inquiry report
∟Over a quarter million young white girls are estimated to have been involved
∟Many were also murdered
∟For perspective, the Rape of Nanking was less than 1/3 the scale
∟The cops arrested the parents trying to save their daughters
∟Glasgow is doing no better
∟Their rape crisis centre had to close its waiting list
∟Meanwhile, the Muslim communities are gaslighting everyone as though they are the victims
∟Politicians rush in to suck them off
∟Based individuals are calling them out
∟Politicians willfully miss the point
∟How can they even look at the data and come to that opinion?
∟Freedom of speech is gone in Europe
∟Trust in media is at an all time low
∟Is it any wonder why?
∟To combat this lack of trust, the UK government just wants to force the media onto you
∟The surveys manufacture your consent
∟YouTube is warning their content creators about what their government is doing
∟It’s time to cut ties
∟Control is the only tool the government uses
∟This is why we resist all forms of censorship
∟They claim it is for child safety
∟But really it’s to create an even more oppressive surveillance state
∟Every photo, every video, every message will be scanned
∟Every device in the country
∟The politicians writing these laws don’t even know how the technology works
∟Incoming Chief of UK Speech Regulator Takes Aim at VPNs
∟It’s already started in the UK
∟We live in a clown world
∟Free speech survived Cromwell, Hitler, and the Blitz, but couldn’t survive the Twitter ratio
∟Australia is also looking to gain control over the ratio
∟UK looks to ban children from using voice chat in games like Roblox and Fortnite
∟European Parliament passed Chat Control 1.0
∟They rigged the system to ensure it passed
∟The EU is the land of mass surveillance
∟Remember where this started
∟Rebecca in One Piece
∟Manmayer Gunko in One Piece
∟The EU will now require a passport to access the internet
∟They need to destroy VPNs to enforce it
∟The spying won’t end with your phone
∟They are building the Mark of the Beast system
∟You will have no privacy anywhere
∟They are salivating at the idea of harvesting your data
∟Do not comply
∟Social justice is a quasi-religious superstition
– The problem has come to the US
∟Mass surveillance laws are here
∟Congress is trying to fundamentally rewrite internet freedom

∟A bill with bipartisan support will always screw Americans
∟47 Congressmen skipped the vote
∟The KIDS Act was paid for by 120 tech companies
∟Again, this is a Trojan Horse for big tech
∟The better the name, the worse the bill
∟We’re getting Internet ID before Voter ID
∟It’s a nightmare
∟This is going to be used to control us like a social credit score
∟South Carolina’s New Social Media Law Puts Every User Under Age Surveillance
∟Internet Freedom is becoming illegal
∟In response, Discord is using Incode
∟Convenient
∟Discord already suffered a data breach when they didi this the first time
∟And your data is being used for model training
∟Deceptive polls shape the narrative
∟Framing is everrything
∟We’ve been sold out
∟Only 13% believe the government should protect children from online dangers
∟The politicians are so arrogant about it, too
∟At least some recognize how authoritarian these measures are
∟It’s time to march on Washington
∟Age verification is already being rolled out
∟Tyranny must be dealt with now
∟This is the Mark of the Beast system and it will be used to destroy us
