What does an Internet Police State look like?

What does an Internet Police State look like? The UK may show us!

Paraphrase Pastor Martin Niemoller:

First they tapped the telephones, and I did not speak out--because
I rarely used the telephone.

Then they demanded that we all carry hi-tech ID cards, and I did
not speak out--because the cards seemed oh so very convenient.

Then they installed video surveillance CCTV cameras everywhere, and
I did not speak out--because they told us that the cameras would
fight crime and terrorism.

Then they took control of the Internet, and I did not speak
out--because they said that entertainment industry profits and
monitoring of our Internet activities were much more important than
individual freedoms.

And then they came for me--and there was no way left to
speak out at all.
