    The irony of uploading a paywalled link.

    Knowing full well that only those who can afford the cost can read it.

    Its not as if the news cannot be found at a thousand other websites and is most probably lifted and copied from other sources.

    I used to pay for the news when I was working. I used to buy the guardian every day when it was 50p, to read on the 90 minute journey by train into the city.

    fucked if I am going to pay some copy and paste merchant.

    This is the governments of the world's greatest attempt so far to throw back the visible truth of the Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace.

    I wish them all the miserable stinking ridiculous failure in the world. I fully expect this to be a wretched daemonic cursed ill begotten mess, destroying base privacy and security & bringing about little but fuck ups and bad. So much of it false flagged to protect children: two faced liars selling the destruction of civic rights & decency with false motive.
