Sometimes it feels like our government are being guided by George Orwell’s pen.

‘External’ communication can be taken at will, without need for probable cause and this is why the UK authorities had redefined a very large chunk of UK internet use as ‘external’. Facebook is external which means our private emails can be snooped upon and information shared without some internal body having to get the authority to do so.

I very much believe that our present and recent governments have been the architects of fear campaigns as good excuse to set up yet more domestic surveillance that can snoop on its citizens. Whilst security is good, there has to be balance reached between the apparent need for enhanced security and the infringement that causes on our freedom of expression, movement and privacy
