The timeline of LGBT history in the UK proved to be a fairly interesting short read... It's an issue I feel strongly about but it seems I may be jumping the gun on assuming it will be outlawed here, we DO seem to be making progress... But it's so easily un-done. The issue is... While something may not be illegal in the short term, the data captured will persist for a long time. We have no idea what could be made criminal in the future, hell look at the recent "Extreme porn law" which banned some ridiculous things, for which it is likely they have evidence of people viewing from years before the law was enacted. Can people be arrested for a crime committed after it became illegal? What law prevents that? When does that law get repealed? What specific combination of words let's them 'detain' / 'hold' / 'safeguard' with the current laws?
