'THE EMPIRE STRIKES HACK'

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.
