The NHS investigate people for abusing their authority as medical professionals. I don't know how they divide the work with the police, but they do have their own people for investigations.
Also for fraudulent malpractice cases. An investigation made the news recently where a lady was suing a hospital. She claimed some massive disability following an operation, and the hospital's own investigations team followed her and filmed her jogging, drinking, etc. It would have been using these same powers to do the surveillance work.

>Too much freedom is just as harmful as too little. Covid killed what, 0.1% of the population at most, and the average age of death was over 80. Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot killed well over an order of magnitude more than that.
It killed 0.185% of the UK with restrictions in place that limited the infections to 6.28% of the population . Unconstrained spread would’ve been a bit over one order of magnitude worse, even if that hypothetical somehow managed to avoid overwhelming the NHS with exponential growth making half of all cases happen in the final doubling period.

TM is a plutokleptocratic fascist Tory who sticks it to "the little people" at every opportunity.
And yet she's still not as bad as the current PM.

#215Is a datacentre considered an ISP in this respect? Between vpns and just remote desktoping into a VM, it seems trivial to circumvent to real criminals while being a privacy nightmare to the rest of the population. There is a probability 1.000 that this data will be abused.

It's easier to stand against something when there is something stand against - The end of the cold war meant the west didn't have a "At least we don't do " to oppose itself to.
Now we routinely do things that would have made the Stasi wet themselves in excitement.

They are slowly boiling the frog (the citizens). This surely will be extended to more data in the future.
How? For TLS connections that is all the information available.
It's not like governments haven't tried to backdoor computing devices via the legal route before.

In part possibly because it was a few years after WW2 where millions of allied soldiers thought against Fascism which was enforced via secret police (Gestapo).

That is truly nasty stuff. Stuff like this is part of the reason i try not invest too much of myself on the 'net and obfuscate as much as possible (i'm not really a marshmallow).
Are you also marshmallows 0 to 11? If so, that your whole internet profile right there.

Because the UK is only borderline a free society. It's like asking why does the king of Saudi Arabia need to have the power to jail his subjects for no reason? Why does Putin need to have the right to jail or kill political opponents? The UK doesn't give you right to remain silent (your silence will be used against you), you are compelled to bear witness against yourself (you must surrender passwords), and there are…
