The UK recently passed a 'Snoopers Charter' which means civil servants can spy on your internet activity, PRISM-style. From what I've read, this means everybody from the national health service to the taxman can spy on you, but I'm not sure to what extent.
I've noticed when running peerblock if I look at theonion.com, the firewall blocks the IP from the 'Ministry of Agriculture and Food' which suggests the word onion is triggering it.
If I look at a page containing words like 'tax' or 'duty' it blocks Her Majesties Revenue & Customs. If I visit a page containing the word 'welfare' it blocks connections to the Department of Work and Pensions.
What the fuck is going on? Has my ISP done a deal to collect data on my internet usage via keywords? This happens on different service providers too including broadband dongles.
Also, I've noticed this only happens when I visit sites that don't use HTTPS.

Asher Hernandez
yes, ISPs do this shit all over the western world, never use HTTP
Jose Williams
It will happen on sites that use HTTPS too. Look in your trusted CA list. Remove everything, and start fresh with CAs you actually trust.
Lincoln Richardson
could you go on sadpanda and look at some shotacon stuff and see who's watching?
Asking for a friend.
Angel Ward
i doubt a bunch of nanny bong idiots are breaking TLS
Jayden Hall
I have HTTPS Everywhere enabled, but some sites don't have it. But the average normie won't know what HTTPS is and why they should use it.
What I'm concerned about is why the hell are they collecting data on information that isn't related to national security or the law. Collecting data about who likes to eat onions seems like they're doing unsolicited commercial research.
>The BBC reported that the Home Office stressed that the bill was intended for targeted surveillance rather than "fishing expeditions"
So it seems the British government straight up lied about the purpose of the bill and they're doing a massive datamining operation.

You forget the GCHQ (bongNSA) spies on the US public and then shares what they get with the NSA and vice versa to get around laws against either agency spying on their own citizens.
Any server backdoors or "fake cryptochips" the NSA have installed in trunk routers GCHQ also have.
Aiden Rogers
>guns
What happened was an honest-to-god Freemason pedo with links to the elites shot up a school and the MPs voted to ban handguns, no referendum
>hate speech
There was suspiciously convenient cause celebre Hate Crimes like the murder of a black boy in the early 90s where it turned out the murderers had links to the police and they never even got caught probably because it was some MI5 thing.
>Vote away your immigration laws
Notice how right before the Brexit vote a 'Brexiteer' conveniently killed a leading remainer MP? They engineer shit like this all the time to create excuses to strip away rights.

The US has an even more sophisticated system for spying on its own citizens, your "freedoms" are a placebo designed to keep you in line.

Ayden Hernandez
What method would they be using if keywords and triggering connections to the civil service?
Does your ISP have a keyword detection script that monitors your packets? What is actually happening when it says it's blocking outgoing connections to the government? Are they relaying a text file of what you're reading to the government server?
Why are some of the connections 'UDP'? Isn't that a streaming protocol? Is that for audio and video?
Michael Brooks
you're just dumb enough to be dangerous, learn what half the words you used mean then ask again
Owen Rogers
>had rights eroded to basically bongistan-tier over the last 20 years and offered no resistance
This is what gets me more than anything when Americans bring up guns.
>Waco >Ruby Ridge >BLM shooting police dead on live television >So-called (((Communists))) tearing down statues >"One day they'll p-p-push us too far!"
There's a simple reason America doesn't need gun laws like the ones in Britain and it's for the same reason Swedes and Germans can still freely own firearms - you're too shit scared to do anything with them and use them as nothing more than a safety blanket.
Jeremiah Davis
How many years have you been learning this stuff? Does it make you smart because you've spent a lot of time on it?

i'm so tired of bong cowards, they're in a constant state of panic, rather than educate themselves they shit fear all over the internet
Robert Taylor
I've only just started learning about it for a month now, read three books so far and a bunch of articles. It's something that takes time to understand so what you're actually doing is being a nerd faggot bragging because you've spent x amount of years doing it. I made a post here asking about router firewalls and someone said I should just build my own router when I said it was my first week learning about networking - you people do that because you listen to dragonforce and have ADD and want to brag m8

They are completely oblivious about what mass surveillance means. They think it only affects criminals.
It means that whoever actually runs the country which sure as fuck is not parliament can engage in blackmail. So if there's a leadership election in the governing party, they can find out which MPs are into kiddie porn or embezzling and which ones are clean. Then they can make sure the one they can blackmail wins by getting their mates in the press to smear the clean MPs. Bam, they get their man in and there's your open borders and illegal wars.

>Separate yourself from the EU >European Union no longer protects you from bad trade practices, and if the British government become socialist fascists with a complete lockdown on weapons, information, and even opinions and culture, you are literally powerless to stop it and can't appeal to a higher power than parliament. Brits are fucking retarded. The Crown has been a mafia since its inception.
Thomas Davis
honestly i think it's even worse, the misinformation, confusion, framing, governments are getting extremely good at keeping their citizens locked in a state of isolation and indecision
surely more bureaucracy will protect them from bureaucracy
Jacob Evans
It's not meant to protect from bureacracy, it's meant to protect against corruption, which are two entirely different things.
Yes the EU is complex but its goals are to prevent individual european states from becoming retarded, oppressed cavemen watching propaganda on their TV and ruining their economies with isolationism
Caleb Smith
What do you expect politicaians are crimanals and they get away with it daily. Peasent scum can't say the same.
Shaking my head. The world is gone to the dogs I tell yah.

They're just as corrupt as the UK. Mission statement doesn't equal truth. The goal should be to get all these shady fuckers out of power and make sure there are no permanent governments without oversight whether it be the EU commission or intelligence agencies.

Easy solution. Pass a law that allows citizens to spy on the government and private entities.
If everyone is going to spy on one another we should at least make the playing field symmetrical.
This might also make individuals and companies start to take data security more seriously.
Colton Richardson
>Nationalize everything
Are you retarded? Tories are privatising everything they can get their hands on. Rail gone, post office gone, NHS being sold off piece by piece, G4S and Capita snapping up police contracts despite being utterly inept because they've got the civil service in their pocket... clearly you don't follow UK politics if you're spouting shit like this.
Fuck the troika (EU, ECB, IMF) and fuck anyone who swallow their propaganda. They're killing Greece to launder money for their banking chums. Strangling it with austerity and giving it '''bailouts''' on condition that 90% of the money goes straight back to banks in Germany etc. And they'll do the same to your country just as soon as you've surrendered enough sovereignty to make it possible, because idiots like you let them.
Owen Cooper
The detector vans are literally just mockups to fool dumb people into believing that they can detect who's watching TV without a licence. In reality, that computer at best contains a list of names and addresses of people who don't have one, so they can knock on their door and intimidate them.
Nolan Young
Honestly fuck off, at least OP trying to understand.
Evan Gray
>UDP Since no one else is responding. From my understanding (which is limited); On the internet, 'packets' of data can be sent from machine to machine via (transport layer) protocols: TCP and UDP.
TCP is bidirectional, meaning that once a connection is made between two machines data can be sent back and forth.
UDP, on the other hand is a "simpler, connection less protocol" it essentially just broadcasts the packets out for anyone to see.
With UDP when you send a packet you cannot know it has been received by the client. But with TCP the connection is both ways, sever says, client replies and so on.
GCHQ makes the NSA look like babies with the amount of government support they have been provided to spy on their own people.
Seriously look it up

If you read the full quote he actually said the increased police presence in the aftermath of the attack was not cause for concern, just part and parcel of living in a large city.
If you're the mayor of a major city you need to reassure people after an attack. He needed to clarify that just because your neighbourhood might have had an increased police presence this did not mean that an attack was imminent or in progress.
I shouldn't have bothered replying because this quote has been purposefully taken out of context to forward various right wing political narratives. This quote has been purposefully taken out of context. Even with the UK being more left-wing than the USA there is no way Khan would have been able to keep his job if he had suggested that terrorist attacks were in any way acceptable.

There was at least one real "TV Licencing" detector van - I've been inside, down in Ledbury, just up the road near Cheltenham. 50Hz and 15625Hz directional carrier detectors, in the Van Eck style, built by RSRE (adjunct to GCHQ).
However I don't know of more than one existing, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's been out of commission for a long time. The radio gear used valves, if that gives you an idea of its age. They always drove dummies around instead and used databases of people who didn't have TV licences for door-knocking, and I don't know if it was ever actually used at all for anything other than driving past embassies quite a lot.
I wonder why they might have done that.
Jacob Barnes
The NSA at least has to pretend that they're following the constitution. We don't have a constitution. They can do literally anything they want short of murder.
Asher Hill
>move everything, and start fresh with CAs you actually trus Do you think anyone cares if some random user considers their country 'relevant' or not? Do you think they took your opinion of them into consideration when voting?
Some things matter more than being liked or considered relevant, some things matter more than having a top 6 world economy. People would rather be a top 20 economy and also have a safe and secure country. They'd rather preserve their culture and history than move up a few places on the world economy list.
