God damn bullshit always "for children and terrorists"

I hate how people turn a blind eye to these things nowadays. They're willing to give away their personal lives at the expense of the shittiest excuses out there. Privacy should be a necessity, ffs.

Why don't they just actually give their actual reason: to spy on UK citizens.

To use children and criminals as a scapegoat for this attrocity is disgusting.

"protect the public from criminals, child sex abusers and terrorists"

Aren't two of those just subsets of the first one?

What a curious pair of emotionally manipulative examples to choose, when it adds absolutely no extra meaning to the Home Office's statement.

i would assume they mean 'criminals, especially...', but classic tHiNk oF tHe ChiLdReN argument
