🚨 Starmer is now coming after your end-to-end encrypted messaging apps like Whatsapp and iMessage. Things you say in your private conversations are about to become fair game for the government to arrest you over. It’s coming “within months”. Section 121 of the Orwellian  "Online Safety Act' that the Tories passed hands Ofcom the powers to compel any messaging platform to do 'client-side scanning' - meaning the tech firm must use "accredited technology" to scan your messages for content the government deems “harmful”. To start with it's child abuse and terrorism (of course - who could argue with that?), but make no mistake, before you know it all the things the police use as an excuse to turn up at people's doors for things they say on public platforms will be used to persecute citizens for things they say in private. ALL your messages will be scanned in real time as you send them. Not just suspicious ones, or flagged ones. Starmer is turning your phone into a real-time government informant. The government has been working to make encryption irrelevant for years, it's why Apple withdrew their Advanced Data Protection service from the UK - because they refused government demands  This is unprecedented territory for this country. Lord Hanson of Flint - who is leading this awful mission - has "set a date of April 2026" for Ofcom to enforce these powers. The era of private messages being private is about to come to an end. Reform will repeal this dystopian surveillance Act. My op ed in the Telegraph 👇

Elon Musk: Entrenched interests sucking away taxpayer money will not like what we'll do. “There's certainly a lot of work for a Department of Government Efficiency. There will be immense opposition, obviously, to making government more efficient from entrenched interests that currently benefit from sucking away vast amounts of taxpayer money. They will not like the fact that they're not getting it anymore. They will fight tooth and nail. But it's got to be done. And like I said, we're going to aim to reduce government spending, get government out of people's lives as much as possible, and restore freedom and liberty.” Pittsburgh, October 20, 2024

Going off the gold standard in 1914 stopped a centuries-long increase in affordability of homes by degrading the value of money, forcing people to use their homes as saving accounts, raising house prices beyond the rise in income
