It is cheaper for the government to just lock the car doors for the length of your sentence. Saves them space in prison. You are allowed to use the McDrive twice a day. The windows will drop 8 centimeters, enough for a Big Mac.

And the revolution starts with a guy who just really wanted burger king?

the children... :)

It's not particularly effective with school shootings in the USA.

Right. The root of the problem is that the kids are unarmed and can't defend themselves. We need an organization that does for kids what is done for the pandas [0].

I don't understand the EU's position on privacy. On the one hand, they enacted GDPR to give you control over access to your personal data. On the other, they need access to all of your data.

The unquestioned view in certain circles - including here - is that when the EU/UK does something that chips away at people's online privacy, there's un ulterior motive. It's entirely possible that politicians just want to do something about CSAM and young people having their mind twisted by social media. The electorate do seem to be keen on some sort of action.

I don't doubt it sort of by why then go through these bizarre loops and secrecy, etc.
