Investigatory Powers Bill: ISPs to keep 1yr of your browsing history

 

Under a new Investigatory Powers Bill internet firms would have to keep records of user activity for a period of 12 months.

. . .

A spokeswoman for British PM David Cameron described the new bill as "one of the most important pieces of legislation during this parliament because it goes ... to the heart of the government's duty to keep the British public safe."

That's a lot of porn to keep track of. Must be for a great reason. When have governments done anything not for the good of the people?

Talk about big brother...

 

And this is even worse because at least Big Brother had to pay for it's own surveillance through regular taxes (which is bad enough), here they're forcing ISP companies to pay for the spying and storage thereof, to be served on request to big brother, or else...

And who in turn pays for that extra effort and capital? All of us! They're protecting us already.

If you're in the UK you can help fight this by supporting only the ISPs that are vocally opposed to this and are willing to fight it. 

 

Whatever businesses you buy from, you are supporting.  Give your support to only those businesses and people that you want to empower.

 

One UK ISP that I recommend is: http://aa.net.uk/

 

The are explicitly against the snoopers charter and invest time and money into protecting their customers from it and other similar legislation.
