Iota Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 The BBC's report: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18867643 Some might say fair play to them; if people are hacking "UK Networks" why shouldn't they return in kind? Although to me, it's a worrying idea, that the UK government will be hacking it's "enemies", who, as usual, have not been specified sufficiently. As if it's not bad enough with the current police-state-like monitoring of the internet, but now, the UK will be attacking-actively defending- as they worded it, anyone it deems as a threat. Which I will stress again, is only ever loosely specified. It's giving too much power to the government, yet again, and by my book it is them trying to police the world; in the same sort of way America's SOPA, PIPA and so on, have tried to. And this isn't a case of guilty fear, but rather, concern expressed by someone who believes in privacy and freedom. Your views? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPanic Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 So, the hackers are prosecuted and sentenced without a trial. That's a pretty bad development. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
