So the UK government is going to destroy the UK's technology sector by outlawing secure encryption, which will kill off every tech company's presence in the UK and end online transactions here.
I write software for a living, so this directly threatens my financial security. I should move, but whither? I have no claim to any citizenship other than British, so I cannot go to the US. Much of the rest of Europe has its own problems.
You wouldn't want to come to US anyway until Trump sorts out our H1-B crisis.

Snooper's Charter m8
http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/nov/09/tech-firms-snoopers-charter-end-strong-encryption-britain-ip-bill
>>55389049
It won't pass.
The Lords have already rejected it twice.
Keep your knickers on anon. Theresa May is a complete idiot, there's a few petitions to get her to unban Khat and stop this snoopers charter.
Find them and sign them if you want to help.
Cowards run.
>>55389049
you should go to Russia... like Gerard depardieu
>>55389049
>>55389049
move to barcalona
>>55389049
>I have no claim to any citizenship other than British, so I cannot go to the US.
Is that a requirement? You can't go to US if you're only British?
>outlawing strong encryption
>to catch people that are breaking the law
I'm sure those guys planning suicide bombings totally care that they'll get a £300 fine for their choice of encryption
>>55389398
No. The idiots in this country who voted for this government, which has pursued entirely foreseeable policies, deserve to have everything ruined.
Come to Australia, as long as you're not a backpacker you'll be mostly alright.
>>55389604
Neither of my parents are American, nor did they think to give birth to me in the US. They shafted me with the nationality of a dying country.
I'd have to get in line with everyone else who wants to move to the US. I don't have an in.
>outlawing secure encryption
China and Russia are lmaoing.
It's okay just have the UK pass a law that makes it illegal to peek at peoples unencrypted data unless you're the government ;)
>>55389805
We don't allow whites in anymore so I think you are fucked.
Get to the southern colonies we aren't getting fucked over by our governments because they don't do anything. And nigras cant invade over our moat
>>55389833
Please don't give them ideas.
They're planning to make it illegal to disclose backdoors in encryption schemes, if you discover one. And to require tech companies to put them in.
>>55389398
The UK requires you to show ID to buy plastic forks and made it criminally illegal to rip MP3s off your legally-purchased CDs. They'll pass this, too.
ah, the ol' "tech industry isn't totally and voluntarily complicit in government snooping" meme
>>55390436
Hey... we have oil, there was a kerfuffle recently about fracking in Sussex. Fancy liberating us?
>>55389049
>destroy the UK's technology
Nothing will happen.
>>55389376
hopefully people kick up a stink and it'll prove too unpopular to back.
Only benefit i can see to no encryption is it'll make terrorist communications less secure.
I fucking hate May.
Does she actually think through any-fucking-Bill she makes?
She wants to GET RID of strong encryption?
If they want to stop people from communicating to each other securely, ban PGP or something.
What about SSL? Is hashing also fucking banned under this bill? lmfao.
So pathetic it actually hurts to read.
>>55390745
It won't protect us from terrorists.
It will open every single person in the UK to having their bank account details stolen. Even if you don't shop online or do online banking... any company you ever use might get hacked, and your details will be decryptable because the encryption scheme will have a backdoor, mandated by the government.
>>55391054
that fucking sucks.
This is a hacker's wet dream.
the kekservatives probably bar people who know what they're talking about from talking sense into them
>>55391136
>c u c k
>censored into kek
why mods?
Miss me yet?
>>55391136
They even want to make it illegal for security researchers to disclose weaknesses in encryption schemes, such as backdoors.
>>55390436

>>55391197
so then are there any softwares we can use to encrypt our banking for example?
>>55391210
I suppose at least we don't have trunk-or-treating yet. The yanks are ahead of us on that one.
>>55391276
Knowing the track record of MPs, they probably think the kids part was the dirty bit.
>>55391299
Not legally.
On one of my laptops I have /g/'s recommended email encryption software.
>mfw breaking the law
>>55391197
the solution then is to influence the banks to keep the encryption. They in turn would have the influence to make politicians behave in a certain way. They just to be reminded how much of a mess it will be when large numbers of their customers get their accounts hacked and cleaned out because of a lack of encryption and how it will destroy their reputations

Up yours, bitch. Facts speak volumes.
>>55391581
in all honesty, when your only choices are A) all the main parties being the same general thing with slight differences resulting in being worse off with which ever you choose or B) not voting, allowing someone who votes for the worst of the bad parties having their vote count more, you really can't be accused of being an idiot because either way you're damned

there have been examples in the past of under 18s buying a knife of some kind and then mugging someone with it later.
Somehow only when they're under 18. Otherwise it;s kooooooooooooooool

>>55389646
>Suicide bombings
We should really get around to banning those.
>>55392081
That will only be possible by mandating backdoors in encryption schemes, which will make them insecure by definition.
>>55389049
If you are a skilled professional you should have trouble getting an H1-b. Come home to freedomland
>>55389049
why would you want to go to USA when you have canada or straya ?
>>55392143
they will have backdoors yes, but encryption will still exist. It's better than no encryption at all for grandpa and grandma and their online savings account.

>praise allah
I seriously hope you idiots don't let this pass.
>>55392421
I disagree. While the government might have a backdoor, script kiddies won't. and if a pro gains access it doesn't matter about the law or a backdoor, he or she would have got in anyway one way or another.
>>55392230
Who the fuck would go to Canada after their last elections? Maybe Australia I'd go to but probably not.
>>55392668
And if Hillary wins?
>>55392602
The chances of a pro getting in are far, far lower if no state-mandated backdoor exists.

"If the state doesn't have a backdoor in the NSA will."
You are damned anyway.
>>55393348
No, the NSA are scared shitless about encryption.
They're even had operations where they deliberately try to spread false new flaws about I believe it was AES or RC4 or some other extensively used encryption to stop people using it.
Doubt it was RC4 but you get my drift.
>>55393532
AES-256 used properly is unbreakable for the foreseeable future
>>55391190
look it's babby's first day on 4chan
>>55393920
That's why the NSA were spreading lies about it.
Can't remember when/where it was leaked, but I think it was Snowden who released it.
