    Aral Balkan Retweeted Louise Haigh MP

    The woman who wants to destroy online privacy (i.e., privacy) doesn’t know the difference between hashes and hashtags. Let that sink in.https://twitter.com/LouHaigh/status/849203475640725504 …

    She meant image hashing, guys. Still horribly unclear re gvt's policy on technology and counter-terrorism though https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/apr/04/amber-rudd-necessary-hashtags-confusion-online-images-videos-home-office …

        @LouHaigh It’s always been an issue with parliamentary democracies that MPs don’t always know what they’re doing/voting on. Scary.

        That's because engineers who do understand this stuff prefer careers where they can actually get things done.

        It is more disturbing that everything she's proposing was proposed a year ago (or 2 years, for the internet Forum) by European Commission
