"Snoopers Charter" 48 UK agencies able to view browser history after deletion.

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

The bill, officially called the Investigatory Powers Bill, forces electronic data to be stored by internet providers for 12 months, which can be subsequently collected by law enforcement.


The access also works regardless of whether or not you clear your history, because it will be held by your internet service provider.

Internet provider must keep logs for a year and hand them over to the government on request, whether users want them to or not.

The lists will include every website that has been visited, but not specific pages on those websites.

I will screenshot this so i can use it as a "nonsense" meme in the future postings.

My heart really sank when I read this. Talk about Big Brother and zero privacy.

On top of that the mission creep on this is gonna be horrendous.

ISPs are being forced to block porn sites too necer mind privacy

VPN's with zero logs will be popular. It would be virtually impossible to stop their use, unless they made it illegal for UK citizens to use VPN's.

I reckon they'll either make it illegal or force them to keep logs too - they'll have thought of this loophole.

Seems logical to me that they'll force the UK based ones to keep logs and the foreign ones that they have no control over will be blocked or illegal to use.

Oh and you just watch the copyright industry hijack this to extort settlements for infringement. I bet they can't wait.

Holy shit that is going to haunt me the rest of this weekend.

THANKS!

Thanks double for posting this petition to block this awful new law. I see that it's already up to 79000 signatures and rising.

Gonna post it on my Facebook timeline now and I suggest that others do the same.

Let's hope it does some good.

It was 56k this afternoon, people are pissed that they now have every arm of the gov't in their living room without their permission....

 

[tabascosauz]

I am usually a "bow-to-authority" type of guy, and it's pretty understandable that the police will be able to look at it, but wtf is this:

Department of Health
HM Revenue & Customs - What, you're going to look at my internet history and my posts on Geekhack.org to see whether I knew that the seller of a groupbuy was going to underdeclare the goods, then impose criminal liability on me for that?
Department for Transport - lmao
Department for Work and Pensions
NHS trusts and foundation trusts in England that provide ambulance services - wtf mate
Common Services Agency for the Scottish Health Service
Competition and Markets Authority


Outright nonsense. So much for "involvement" of the citizens in this dear old Parliament. It seems they just copied every government agency under the sun off of a generic list and pasted it onto the Act.

 

[dorsetknob]

The News is they now acknowledge who is/can snoop on you
before this it was the poorly kept dirty Rumour/secret

 

[R-T-B]

Keeping ISP logs for 12 months has been policy in the USA for some time if I recall, not that I'm surprised or anything... it seems this is the hot new unnecessary trend in privacy invasion...

 

[NdMk2o1o]

I'm sure the food standards agency is in there, like WTF??? completely unnecessary and draconian, giving way too much power to any Tom Dick or Harry, heck any NHS worker, DVLA, DHS, FSA etc etc with a grievance regardless of rank can effectively spy on anyone they want just because... fuck them all I will just go VPN and lock down my shit from now on, it's a chess game, they've made their move, I'm gonna evade it and counter-move, simple.

No, it's not. USA PATRIOT Act had a provision to keep phone call meta data (who called whom and how long it lasted) but that's it. That's what Snowden exposed and I'm not sure the state of that program today.

About the only thing ISPs keep on Americans is usage data and billing/payment information. There's been bills attempted that would keep track of more data like this does but there was a massive public backlash and the legislatures stopped pushing for it. It'll no doubt be reintroduced under a new title.

 

[tabascosauz]

The sad thing is, after Brexit, all eyes were on Brexit. The long-awaited, attempted-multiple-times Cohabitation Bill 2016? "Nah, Parliament won't have any time on their hands this year to consider anything other than Brexit-related matters." Then this.

Fuck May, everything she's done and everything she stands for. As if we didn't get enough bullshit when she was Home Secretary, what with her turning the UK into a fascist (all her shameless lies and idiotic claims about the Human Rights Act (remember the "cat" debacle?)) and police (her stupid "reforms" to police social media) state, all the while showing no respect for the judicial system whatsoever.

This is always popping up in Peerblock for me.

Thanks. I guess I was out of touch on that.

Police are now officially able to hack into your phones and check your browsing history after the Snoopers' Charter came into force yesterday.

The law - officially called the Investigatory Powers Bill - forces electronic data to be stored by app companies for 12 months, which can be subsequently collected by law enforcement.

While critics have cited it as an attack on privacy, the Government believes the charter is essential for combating terrorism and organised crime.

Aside from the controversy surrounding its morality, the charter's effectiveness has also been questioned, with Virtual Private Network software already being highlighted as a potential way for internet users of getting around it.

Using a VPN means data will be scrambled and protected from the company that provides the connection.
