I don't buy it. I don't see the UK being nearly as bad as America in breaking the privacy of it's populations. As with a lot of things, the UK is somewhere between America and Europe, not ideal but not quite NSA levels yet. I trust the Tories not to go overboard, Labour would have been worse, much worse. Trust me blood, the UK has an insane amount of CCTV: It is estimated that Britain has 20 per cent of cameras globally and that each person in the country is caught on camera an average of 300 times daily. Apologies in advance for quoting from the Daily Fail http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1205607/Shock-figures-reveal-Britain-CCTV-camera-14-people--China.htmlFrom 2009: The Children’s Secretary set out £400million plans to put 20,000 problem families under 24-hour CCTV super-vision in their own homes.
They will be monitored to ensure that children attend school, go to bed on time and eat proper meals.
Private security guards will also be sent round to carry out home checks, while parents will be given help to combat drug and alcohol addiction.
Around 2,000 families have gone through these Family Intervention Projects so far.
But ministers want to target 20,000 more in the next two years, with each costing between £5,000 and £20,000 – a potential total bill of £400million...

Im stuck in the UK & couldnt leave atm but have thought about it. The heat of some of those countries you mention would bother me however. Yes... In Australia, the temperature can climb up to 45 degree celsius. Will take time to get used to it. May be you should consider moving to South Island, New Zealand (esp. to cities such as Christchurch, Invercargill and Dunedin). The North Island is full of Pacific Islanders and Asians, and soon English will lose the status as the first language there. One of my biggest gripes with the UK is the housing market is a total joke, around £200k needs to be spent to get something even half decent in most areas. This is insane. There is a solid reason why the property prices are so high in England. The United Kingdom is the money laundering capital of the world. So there are quite a lot of Chinese millionaires, Russian oligarchs, and Italian mafia members buying up property there. As the demand increases, the prices also go up. |

I'm afraid the OP's quite naive. 3 years ago, I was in Italy, and some websites I tried to access were blocked. Today, I'm in France, in a public place with free wi-fi, and I've been unable to launch Tor. I've tried with different settings, but it fails each time.
It's the sad truth, we're getting f*cked everywhere.
It's worse in Iran, Israel, or Egypt, but that doesn't help.

I'm not really sure why you think I'm naive? 1) I never said other countries weren't having problems. 2) You said you was blocked, but this is rather vague. At what level was you blocked? Local machine, local network, ISP, government level? I mean it quite understandable if a internet cafe chooses to block it's customers from watching porn for example. |

Local machine, local network, ISP, government level? I mean it quite understandable if a internet cafe chooses to block it's customers from watching porn for example. I haven't understood how I've been blocked. I was able to surf normally, but I was unable to launch Tor. I tried every possible settings, but none worked. It was the first I'd seen that. I also remember being unable to access several websites in Italy, when I was in a private apartment, using a standard connection. I thought the websites I tried to access were down, until I checked with a friend in another country, who told me everything was fine. I believe those websites were blocked by the Italian ISP. Anyway, it just shows that wherever you are, you're probably watched when you're on the Internet. I don't think the new law in the UK will change anything. What is now allowed was being done illegally before. |

Tor is not 100% anonymous anymore. Agencies such as the CIA and the FBI control a large number of the Tor relays. If your first relay happens to be any of these nodes, then your identity will be known to them. This is how Blake Benthall was arrested. We need to find new anonymization methods. Recently, I am hearing a lot about I2P. Need to do a bit of R&D on it.  |
