"British politicians and authorities are working intensively to escalate #censorship and mass #surveillance. In just the past year alone, they have attempted to force Apple to (secretly) install backdoors in its end-to-end encrypted cloud service; censorship has been introduced with the #OnlineSafetyAct; proposals for client-side scanning and government spyware on all UK phones..." #UKPol https://mullvad.net/en/and-then/uk

"From London to Lisbon, politicians from centre-right and centre-left parties alike had steadily eroded social programmes, fostering a sense of scarcity and creating fertile ground for the stirring up of anti-migrant sentiment." “If we were doing more, people would not feel threatened. They would be reassured that the digital and ecological transitions and globalisation will be painless because they are protected by a state that cares for them.” #UKPol #EUPol #Welfare https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/21/welfare-cuts-have-fuelled-rise-of-far-right-and-populism-top-un-expert-says

"#Epstein’s human trafficking organization depended entirely on the wealth management industry (WMI). It was how he obtained the capital to build it, and it was how he hid his activities from the authorities. And none of this was an abuse of the industry; it is precisely how the WMI is designed to work. Nor is it an abuse of the law, because both American and international law has been carefully designed to accomodate the WMI." #USPol #Politics #Wealth #Capitalism https://jacobin.com/2025/11/epstein-trafficking-law-taxes-capitalism
