Hey! Stop calling our mass surveillance "mass surveillance". It's very damaging to our case...
devastating
I'm going to download lots of titty pics just out of spite. Maybe some feet pics while i'm at it. People of the UK, I implore you to fill your phone with titty pictures.

Anytime there's a "government plans to do thing", replace "government" with "pedophiles" and are if you're still ok with it.
Recent revelations even show that it's not that far off...
Yeah it's time to download encryption apps before they claim it's illegal to have privacy
