Is this a surprise to anyone? Britain is quite well known for its draconian laws on free speech and encryption.

Seems its quite easy to get arrested for posting stuff online too. I hardly ever agree with the content but scares me to see people getting arrested for what amount to opinions.
Yes, and good luck if you're ever unfortunate enough to be physically harmed.

Even rape victims are demanded to hand over their phone before a case can proceed. Because of course the alleged perpetrator (rightly) refuses to, delete even unrelated stuff before handing over? Case dropped anyways.

Implying the police actually turn up? Remember that those are the "lucky" ones.
