This is getting more traction worldwide from some very influential people. Elon, Martina , Rowling and more joining the list in condemning the Hate Bill. In my opinion, it will eventually fail. Police Scotland simply will not be able to cope. They are already at breaking point…

Private online chats/messages have already resulted in prosecutions, so, yes, they will eventually monitor your other devices.
