This year has been absolutely relentless. Got to be the worst year for privacy by far, and tech in general. Especially in the UK and especially these last few months. I will never forgive Labour for this. I know a lot of the legislation like the online safety act was passed by the previous Tory government but they were supposed to be an improvement, not come in and start immediately enforcing it to a greater extent than the Tories.
I don’t think there’s been a single week since the summer where I haven’t seen something that’s filled me with dread. I think it’s actually making me sick at this point
This was very much the previous Labour government as well though - attempted ID cards, restricted what you could photograph or film, made it illegal to not disclose a password when asked by police and so and on
Yeah its been an affront on all sides. Privacy and freedom of expression is dying, unfortunately the majority of the population will only realise the levels of authoritarianism too late.

As long as they can still access TikTok and Instagram they probably won’t even care
