Shooting the Messenger

The internet is a convenient scapegoat for society's ills.

The UK government is to legislate how best to imprison potentially many people for viewing content on the internet.

Preserve Individual Freedoms

Backlash campaigns to ensure the right remedies are applied to the right problems.

Whilst doing so we preserve hard won individual rights and liberties.

See no evil.

The government doesn't want you to view certain images. And will send you to prison if you possess them. Even in the privacy of your own home.
