The U.K. Parliament is pushing ahead with a sprawling internet regulation bill that will, among other things, undermine the privacy of people around the world. The Online Safety Bill, now at the final stage before passage in the House of Lords, gives the British government the ability to force backdoors into messaging services, which will destroy end-to-end encryption. No amendments have been accepted that would mitigate the bill’s most dangerous elements. If it passes, the Online Safety Bill will be a huge step backwards for global privacy, and democracy itself.

    This is a hoax according to snopes.com, New Mexicans for Science and Reason, and Advance Local.

    There was a proposal for a bill known as the Indiana Pi Bill (read it here) in 1897, according to Wikipedia. Notably, it had no basis in religion. Setting pi is not the main point of the bill, but it does say

    the ratio of the diameter and circumference is as five-fourths to four

    which sets the ratio of circumference to diameter, pi, as 4/1.25=3.2.
