Censorship of research papers

[ciphergoth]

If this bill goes through, I'll have to give the Government my papers to read before I can publish them.

That's almost as idiotic as some of our legislation!
How horrible!
Hopefully, it's a no-go!

They got the RIP ("we-can-spy-on-you") Act and CJB ("no-right-to-peaceful-protest") passed, this is unlikely to be outside their scope.

Pretty much anything this Government proposes becomes law. The chances of a backbench revolt over an issue as obscure as this are basically nil.

And crypto research becomes illegal in yet another country, sigh...
