Sucks to be american. Sucks to live in america.

Why would anyone?

This is a dumb question. Almost 50 million people live in Sudan where there’s an ongoing famine. 70 million people live in UK where mass surveillance is roughly state supported. Asking why 300 million people don’t just move is … stupid

None of the cool countries are going to let massive amounts of Americans immigrate to them and nobody wants to go somewhere worse.

I'm very glad I had the opportunity to leave. Being bilingual makes it a lot more feasible.

I live in the UK. A judge can compel you under Section 49 of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 to hand over any passwords for any devices or services they reasonably believe you have possession of the passwords for.

If you don't then you can be imprisoned for up to 2 years for normal crime or 5 years for crimes relating to national security or the production, possession or dissemination of CSAM
