p2pnet news | TV:- Google continues to dream up ways to force surfers to swallow advertisements featured on, and through, its many and various ‘ services,’ with privacy for users very much a secondary consideration.

So the queen makes her speech available to the masses and people complain. Available mediums will be bbc iplayer, bbc.co.uk bbc1 or bbc2 and now youtube. No one is forced to give google ad money, The masses have many ways to watch live and on demand later on.
So what should they have done?

“who cares about the so-called queen or what her opinions are?
fuck her.”
are you British, Australian etc..if the queen is not your monarch then yes why would you care(probably the same amount any British care about that state of the union speach)
If you are British then her speeches can affect your tax and law’s you have to follow(not usaly in Christmas speach) so even if you dont like her or the laws having more ways to hear them(choice) is a good thing.
