Britain has passed the 'most extreme surveillance law ever passed in a democracy'

"The law will force internet providers to record every internet customer's top-level web history in real-time for up to a year, which can be accessed by numerous government departments; force companies to decrypt data on demand -- though the government has never been that clear on exactly how it forces foreign firms to do that that; and even disclose any new security features in products before they launch.

Not only that, the law also gives the intelligence agencies the power to hack into computers and devices of citizens (known as equipment interference), although some protected professions -- such as journalists and medical staff -- are layered with marginally better protections."

Internet privacy is getting shit day by day, governments are working hard to take control of internet freedom.
I finally concluded that internet was meant to be a freedom platform, the real purpose behind was e-enslavment.
I agree, I wonder if tor and other ways to try and Slip under the radar will become a normality. Bitcoin could be the first steps towards anonymity
Another brilliant idea by Britain which is totally not related to their muslim problem.
Lol they are really stupid man. A law like this can start riots.

The current SSL implementation is flawed since the UK govt is now a recognized CA provider. They can issue valid SSLs and man-in-the-middle every single connections in the country.
Britain is slowly turning into nazi Germany folks

Same, the only reason I'm aware of it is from this post. Usually stuff like this would pop up on my feed but not seen anything.
The IPBill has no place in this world. Totally absurd.
I think that's fucking stupid of them to do.
