Seems like they’re by far the worst in Europe, perhaps even surpassing USA

I suppose there’s a reason a Brit wrote 1984?

In terms of dystopian government overreach or crime rate? Because the crime rate is surely not the worst. The overreach tho is pretty bad. They constantly try to break encryption, they try to force people to ID themselves for online services, incarcerate peaceful protesters for years, etc.
Assange is a great example of how fucking horrible their government can be.

Brit here. It's always been like this, at least for my whole lifetime. I remember in the 90s they were trying to get biometric ID cards going with people's fingerprints and retina scans on them, and the government has been pretty consistent with trying to undermine encryption, harvest everyone's metadata etc. Best I can tell, we seem to be the testing ground for any Orwellian nonsense that gets dreamed up, before it gets shipped out to the States and other places.

Millions of cameras everywhere. It's been like it for years now...
