For fuck's sake:
If China wanted to tap all of the fibre - presuming such a thing was even likely to be valuable enough to bother with - they wouldn't bother doing it from an embassy everyone is now watching like a hawk.
They'd rent the basement of some building on any number of streets in London, and do it from there.
In practice they're just stealing your shit over the Internet directly.
Don't be so dim, politicians and journalists.

How Britain replaced #US as Russia’s villain
As #Moscow rebuild ties with #Trump, #Britain assumed role once reserved for US: #Kremlin’s chief adversary & favoured #bogeyman in #propaganda war
Russia regards itself as on a par with US said UK former defence attaché
Now they can’t criticise Trump directly, so who to blame for your woes: losses in #Ukraine, million #casualties?
It’s easy to portray #UK as root of all Russia’s problems

The #US #GOP doesn't care about #hormones for #trans youth or #transwomen in #sports and in #bathrooms.
They just need a #bogeyman to make their #conservative base riled up.
They no longer have #abortion as a kludge so they're attacking the most vulnerable #minority in the #UnitedStates.
#Republicans don't care about their constituents at all, they just want to stay in power.
It's disheartening, sickening, frightening, and goes completely against the principles of #freedom.

👆 True, but it's easier to counter when you can point at successful examples of where what you're selling actually works...like the Nordic #SocialDemocrat countries.
His point is: 'Keep saying the #BogeyMan S-Word and you'll keep on losing.'

@jeffcliff
The #Bogeywoman, to be confused with the #bogeyman.Does anyone think that the Court Jesters grew up on #Hollywood tropes where the woman would 'um and ah' about getting an abortion but ultimately always chooses to have the baby?
We think we need to partly blame Hollywood.

Reading #Chatcontrol directive leaves me nonplussed.
One would expect that the most important part of child protection would be focused where the crimes are committed.
One would expect very concrete proposals detailing how social services could be strengthened.
But in fact, the proposed paper is silent on pretty much anything of the sort, but keeps obsessively coming back to the subject of secure online communication, which is presents as the universal #bogeyman.
