@clickhere@mastodon.ie “I’ve got a little list” is a line by the character Ko-Ko, Lord High Executioner, in the comic opera The Mikado. Written by Gilbert and Sullivan and originally performed by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, 1885.

@clickhere@mastodon.ie It shouldn't surprise anyone that if you post something on public social media, it is noticed also by government organizations. But systematically databasing those posts would, in the EU, likely run foul of the GDPR, as it should. Also, I see nothing wrong in them concentrating (if that's what they do) on right-wing extremism over Islamic extremism, as it is the qualitatively greater threat: to British democracy itself, not just to British citizens or assets. And of course the underlying Prevent program has always been a rule-of-law and due-process disaster.
