gollark: Why do they need that? No idea. Can anyone get rid of that power? Probably not.
gollark: UK surveillance law gives some random government food regulation agency power to look at internet history data or something like that.
gollark: Fortunately, that doesn't matter because they don't mean anything and can just be ignored arbitrarily by judges.
gollark: Contracts for some things say "we can arbitrarily rewrite this and you can't do anything about it muahahaha", and despite those being really apious you have to agree to those too.
gollark: It sort of holds together, but not in an elegant, consistent or comprehensible way.
