Is there a Godwin's law for unnecessarily dragging an otherwise apolitical topic into the political arena?
I only ask because this is a clear violation of [insert that law].

Technically, if it was analogous to Godwin's Law ("As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1"), this would be a manifestation of that law.

I wouldn't call Britain, France, Norway (and others) as being a police state. But a police state also includes the scenario where citizens are micromanaged, are under the watchful and benevolent eye of the state apparatus AND they do not resist said micromanagement.

I don't know about France or Norway, but doesn't the UK, at least England, have exactly that what with the ever growing surveillance camera coverage?

I worked on the eBay side and was told by my eBay supervisor that PayPal fell under banking regulations.

Back when I worked as a helldesk jockey for a medical lab, I was told by my supervisor that the helpdesk PC's screensaver couldn't be changed because of HIPAA...

Just sayin', supervisors can say some dumb shit.
