Steve Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 ISPs and phone companies will be forced to store records of all websites visited and all numbers called by every UK citizen in the previous 12 months. This will be accessible by the police and security services, with a warrant. Security services will be allowed to bug computers and phones if they have a warrant. Companies will be legally forced to bypass encryption in the aid of an investigation. Security services will be allowed to collect and analyse bulk collections of communications data.

Guest rasteri Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Also warrants aren't required for a lot of things. The example the police gave is they could look through phone location records to find everyone who was near a crime scene at a certain time, then crossreference that with previous convictions, etc etc. That would previously have required a warrant for everyone whose phone records were accessed. It's just nightmarish. Also Also, Labour supported this bill. Some fucking opposition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paapicholoo Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Well, I think I better get learning how to use TOR and VPN cos i believe that the only way Brits can save themselves from mass-surveillance is to change their IP addresses to another location.

Flexinoodle Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 While this makes me feel physically sick, i think the fact that only 69 MPs voted against it makes me even more physically sick, fucking scumbags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deft Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Although I was fairly flippant in my first post, this is overall very cuntish. But if it saves one baby from a terrorist it will all be worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phology Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 What is the best/cheap VPN these days? I recently installed DotVPN but it slows my computer down so much it's painful just normal browsing. Also, is it enough simply to install a browser VPN extension, or do you have to download VPN software for proper protection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Politicians have exempted themselves from Britain's new wide-ranging spying laws. The Investigatory Powers Act, which has just passed into law, brings some of the most extreme and invasive surveillance powers ever given to spies in a democratic state. But protections against those spying powers have been given to MPs. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/investigatory-powers-bill-a7447781.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phology Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 EU court deals major blow to UK's controversial snooper's charter http://www.wired.co.uk/article/eu-rules-against-snoopers-charter The ruling in the judgment means that the court could trigger challenges against the the recently-passed Investigatory Powers Act. The widespread collection and retention of electronic communications allowed by the UK's Investigatory Powers Act is illegal, Europe's highest court has ruled, dealing a major blow to the government's so-called snooper's charter.
