Reply to comment by landwomble in The UK is banning TikTok on government devices — joining the US, Canada, and the EU — despite a charm offensive dubbed 'Project Clover,' report says by chrisdh79

Because this is how many people in government think.

“I think that’s a personal choice,” Michelle Donelan, the minister at the helm of the U.K.’s new Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, told POLITICO in an interview. “As a Conservative, I strongly believe in personal choice.”

It's shocking to be reminded how thick some of our representatives really are.

I am pretty liberal when it comes to state involvement in my life. From CCTV to banning sugary drinks I want as much freedom to do what I want as possible as long as it doesn't infringe or harm someone else.

But using the "I'll do what I want" on national security is a big fucking leap that just screams either selfishness or ignorance.
