Link > THE UK IS ABOUT TO WIELD UNPRECEDENTED SURVEILLANCE POWERS — HERE’S WHAT IT MEANS
Excerpt from the link....
"The UK is about to become one of the world’s foremost surveillance states, allowing its police and intelligence agencies to spy on its own people to a degree that is unprecedented for a democracy.
The legislation in question is called the Investigatory Powers Bill
The bill will legalize the UK’s global surveillance program, which scoops up communications data from around the world, but it will also introduce new domestic powers, including a government database that stores the web history of every citizen in the country.
The UK government will keep a record of every website every citizen visits for up to a year, with this information also including the apps they use on their phone, and the metadata of their calls."
My thoughts.
Personally I've nothing to hide and support the continuing defence against the atrocities we see and read about in the world both abroad and domestic.
That said I have to trust any information held on citizens is safe behind security defences.
