Britain Has Passed the 'Most Extreme Surveillance Law Ever Passed in a Democracy' (zdnet.com)
Zack Whittaker, reporting for ZDNet: The UK has just passed a massive expansion in surveillance powers, which critics have called "terrifying" and "dangerous." The new law, dubbed the "snoopers' charter," was introduced by then-home secretary Theresa May in 2012, and took two attempts to get passed into law following breakdowns in the previous coalition government. Four years and a general election later -- May is now prime minister -- the bill was finalized and passed on Wednesday by both parliamentary houses. Civil liberties groups have long criticized the bill, with some arguing that the law will let the UK government "document everything we do online." It's no wonder, because it basically does. 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. In other words, it's the "most extreme surveillance law ever passed in a democracy," according to Jim Killock, director of the Open Rights Group.
Truly despicable! I understand WHY they're doing it, but it's still wrong.
The only good thing is, at least they're letting you know ahead of time they're violating your privacy. (not that that is much of a prize).

We should always consider everything we do online, whether internet, mail, or even on our "smart"phones, as being done in a public space, anyway. There is no such thing as privacy online. There is no such thing as anonymity online. Internet is public space with a twist - unlike normal public space, where things done outside of security cameras tend to be forgotten quickly, everything online gets recorded somewhere, forever.
Yes, fuck them royal pussies
All those refugees coming into Europe coupled with the fear of terrorism and you get this.
At least the Brits are open about it. Here in the States, our government just went out and did it - and are still doing it. Who needs a law written by a legislature that represents the people!
THAT is one legitimate reason to criticize the Obama administration.. The fact that a Harvard educated Constitutional law professor allowed that to happen when he was in charge of the Executive branch make me want Harvard to rescind his JD.
During the Bush administration, I used to remind people of the dangers of giving too much power to the executive branch by reminding them that one day, another "Clinton" will have control.
During the Obama administration, I reminded people that one day, another "Bush" will have control.
Eventually, I'll remind people that another "Obama" or "Trump" will have control.
Never give anyone, even your allies, the kind of power you would fear in the hands of your enemies.

The UK has been moving towards fairly pervasive authoritarianism for a long time. Only God(TM) knows why they are such pricks.
And people thought the UK could never be #1 at anything. Well they proved you wrong, didn't they?
Yes, it's awful, dreadful, nasty etc etc.
But we're under no illusion that's it's going on. We may not like being in a prison cell, but at least we know we're in a prison cell, and not deluded that we're actually free.
... democracy.
Some people would say that laws like this mean you've forfeited the right to call yourself a democracy.
Others define democracy to mean only how you elect your leaders (although all but the purists typically include republics in the definition), not whether you have freedom of speech, etc. With that definition, there have probably been other "democracies" with far more draconian laws.
Knowledge is how to play a game, intelligence is how to win, wisdom is knowing what game to play.

In Capitalist US, the commerce controls the Government.
If you're an Internet user in the UK, then your government is now an enemy combatant in the 'cyberspace domain' (legitimate according to NATO, alongside air, sea, and land) and has more or less declared open war on you.
Freaky.
Democratic Fascism. We're going to have folks actually vote for politicians who enact fascist laws - and get reelected!
And any one of them - especially here in the States - that mentions anything about Civil Liberties or rights or whatever will be labeled as "soft on terrorism" and defeat is his.
Bloody excellent. We'll be even more secure than the Israelis. Thank you Prime Minister for looking out for us, and securing our future.
The UK government has always wanted to be a fascist government, they're just being sneaky and going about it the long way. Slowly chip away at rights and increase mass surveillance until BAM political dissidence is silenced, people go missing, everything you say and do is captured and logged in case they need a reason to dispose of you in the future.

Stronger border security makes it easier to push the anti-terrorism measures out of the civil society and to its borders. The EU is living in a fantasy world about how easy it is for terrorists to land in Europe and move at will under the various agreements and treaties. Restoring British sovereignty over the movement of people and border security will help civil libertarians build a case for reducing the internal measures to purging bad actors and their sympathizers/enablers while moving most of the security apparatus to proactively keeping the threat out of the society itself. No electorate is going to accept a regime that simultaneously allows bad actors to move in easily AND that doesn't provide some sort of sweeping measure to protect society from them. So pick one. Either you restrict access to your country or you spy on it and carry out regular anti-terrorism raids.

They did take back control. The small print said that they took back control on behalf of the Westminster Parliament, which had been consistently acting against their interests for decades, but that's not the point. I still don't understand the people who decided that voting to give Parliament more power was a protest vote against the establishment.

The news suppression must be in force.
No mention of it on the BBC website, but that's frequently the case if the government want something suppressed, the BBC is not the impartial news service that some people outside the UK think it is.
What's more annoying is that it has no mention of this on the bills before parliament site which shows the last action as Lords bouncing back to Commons.
But even if it's not actually law yet, it's going to be soon. There are just formalities left.
The idea is there's a legal framework in this country. We can use the law against any business operating in this country. If it is entirely in a foreign country, we have to use whatever framework they have in place there.
I just want to be clear - I don't in any defend this law, or even the actual law that was passed (blogs tend to hype it up a little). This comment is just an observation on a specific point in the summary.
In this case, the Conservative party can have a reasonable expectation to remain in power for a long time, especially if leaving the EU causes Scotland to abandon the union. Scotland represents some 10% of the population and regularly vote everyone-but-Theresa-May's-party.
For those interested in evil genius accomplishments and Bond-style villains, it's a good time to point out that with the chaos and paralysis that followed the recent referendum, Theresa May eventually got the law she had wanted for a long time. Merit where merit is due.
"Theresa May"? That's a funny way to spell "Harriet Jones."
Aren't all brits royal pissies?

Yes, that's what you get when you let your own gov't padlock the rigid mitts over your hands. The only people I feel sorry for here are the children whose parents delivered them into this nightmare.
Britian is not a democracy. Its like many nations, a pseudo-democracy. Its all in the perception of the citizen.
The Conservative government, during this term, will pass boundary changes which are not blatant gerrymandering but do look like ensuring a multiple term Conservative government regardless of anything else that happens. The graph in the article nicely illustrates how irrelevant the Scotland, Wales and NI vote actually is despite what some (invariably Conservative supporting) people in England think.
Am I the first to compare it to 1984?
The problem with that argument (and I agree with your point), is that both sides believe people are waking up from the lies of the other. They both see history as being on their side, and their position as the inevitable conclusion. Why fear the future? "We've won!"
If you're a nice approachable person, many people will assume you'd agree with them on politics, simply because you seem sane and decent. They absolutely cannot understand how anyone could agree with the other side unless they're stupid or evil.
While your point makes a lot of sense to a rational actor, in politics very few are.

Many VPN service firms have been founded by taxpayer money, and merely are the different arm of operations.
This is just formalizing and bringing out into the open what has already actually been happening in secret for years.
My only concern is given what happens in secret is often beyond the law, if the law itself is beyond the edge of decency, how bad can/will the secret stuff become?
Neither side cared when theirs was in power, and would quickly forget that their rivals, if not enemies, had that power during the last president. I brought the same thing up in regards to Trump soon having those powers, and they are still too busy railing about the person (and resultant staff) rather than the encroaching scope of the office of the president and that mitigating that encroachment of scope would solve many of the issues they are currently worried about under a Trump (or any other) Presidency.
I have concluded this whole country is mentally ill on a scale that I never could have fathomed possible, but upon reflection on other nations around the world, as well as the historical example of Germany, I wonder if perhaps that is the human condition when power is ceded to a sufficiently large and bureacratic government to whom the people cannot easily dismantle when it has breached its mandates and social contract.

We are moving into an all-out full-blown cyperpunk society where anyone halfway free from 'the system' is a potential suspect or locked out of essential basics , only able to acquire them by semi-legal / grey-market means.

Tamper-free FOSS IT systems are becoming more and more exotic a concept while the brainwashed masses think Fakebook or Twotter is some sort of innovation over other services we've had for decades.

The basic trick you can use (something which took me at most a couple of hours on a lazy afternoon to knock out off the top of my head -- easy or any CS student) is to have a MySQL table somewhere, with a simple schema of { int insertTime, char[32] key, string value }. The keys are produced by hashing a string of some sort, and the values are produced by encrypting using some password used by a related hashing method. Essentially you take a string 'HexVision' and salt it in two different ways. All table rows with this key are considered part of the conversation. Anybody with correct means to produce encryption key and row key can see the conversation. Encryption and decryption is done in javascript in the browser, as is producing the hashes (aes.js and sha.js). All the server does is store and retrieve rows, and is a few lines of PHP. You then get e.g. the last n messages, (get rows with matching key, sort by time, return last n), or the messages after a given time. The time things are written is not encrypted in this simple approach.
The thing is, you can write this into a single PHP file that you can stick on any LAMP stack anywhere (copy aes.js and sha.js inline). Then for the salting stuff, you use a separate html page (using sha.js and a few lines of js) to generate stuff to stick into the messaging page. Stuff like that.
Then, you stick it in something like a wordpress blog, where accessing a certain page (e.g. myweb.com/blog?page=46&etc=45) at the right time gives you the messaging application, but otherwise not. Then stick this in a country other than the UK.
Too easy. The government has basically declared its right to use a magic wand to summon unicorns.

i still think having voting rights matters.with google apple you are their prosumers and have no rights but get Fuck**. those corporation will chanel any picture or information on your children to wathwver site just so they make money. I for sure prefer to keep my voting rights. therefore i think it is goverment should get them to respect wathever law is voted even if decrypting murderer phone is a security hasard to their businesses.
You paint it as if they don't realize the future implications. I don't believe that. Rather I think both side are control freaks. They want more control, and they are getting it.
Why every citizen in the UK doesn't protest or revolt against being treated like a potential terrorist I don't know. The people there have been pacified into compliance with anything. That's exactly the type of compliance that led to the rise of Nazi's and the holocaust. Seriously, you can't just let government do whatever the hell it wants especially when it starts treating you like the enemy. We don't have it much better in the US with cameras everywhere but at least our cameras don't speak back and tell you to pick up your trash. Almost no real freedom in any UK city with your mom looking over your shoulder every time you take a piss. Almost as bad as North Korea.
are you advocating that no one but you should have voting right as one day these other citizen might give those power to you enemies. seriously ???
George Orwell would be proud of himself for his predictions.
If everyone runs a web crawler that visits all of the top level websites, then everyone would have the same history. Add this as a default feature of all browsers and suddenly we've turned the law into an ass.
When they get repeatedly burned by Trumps and Obamas, maybe they'll figure it out. I'm not very hopeful, but at least it's an easy argument to make these days.
The citizens are wayward, undisciplined, and childlike. They must be protected and kept controlled. For their own good of course. None of this is creepy, weird, patronizing, problematic, subject to abuse, or suffocating.
No, the people must be protected. We must destroy their freedom in order to save their freedom.

Everyone in the UK, set up a Tor exit node. They want logs? We'll give them logs.
What is it with the British and their love of surveillance and the right to privacy meaning so little to them? There is a Fundamental difference from the US, where laws and the Government are supposed to be charged with protecting the rights of the individual, while in the U.K. the objective is to protect the people and the Government itself from the individual.
The "Investigatory Powers Bill" is not quite as bad as the "Communications Data Bill" that was shot down, this one passed by a huge majority:
In March 2016, the House of Commons passed the second reading of the Investigatory Powers Bill on a 281 to 15 vote, moving the bill to the committee stage.
Wasn't exactly surprising the House of Lords passed it too, almost as much a formality as the Queen's Royal Assent.

...a democracy.
At the height of the industrial revolution, Marx pointed out that private ownership can be abused. The solution he proposed was to have the government nationalize all private property. Today, during our information technology revolution, we see governments argue that private data can be abused and they have proposed as a solution the reduction of the rights of the private owner. In the light of the analogy to Marx’s reasoning, we call this philosophy: cyber-communism.

I think that many of them don't realize the future implications.
I can only use the US's political landscape as a point of reference but I think the point will be clear...
We've been hearing about the GOP's "Demographic problem" for more than a decade. Basically, as America is getting younger and browner, there is dwindling power for those groups who have traditionally been the Republican party's base. People with left-of-center politics really did think that we wouldn't see another Republican president for a generation or more.
Now that Trump won the presidency and Republicans control both houses of congress, I have heard grumblings on the right-of-center side who think that the Democrats are now over and done.
They're both wrong.
Giving more power to the government is a bad idea, no matter who is in control of it.

That is a lot of data the ISPs will have to store. I assume they're going to store logs from their DNS servers, for every little DNS request.

Britain used to have the shittiest democracy, then Trump got elected and US held the #1 spot, but Britain has come back with a vengeance and is once again the most oppressive "democracy" in the world. Well done, chaps!
First the Brits and the Aussies took the guns away for citizens for their safety. Now they are taking away their rights. When your government tells you you don't need a gun, you need as gun.
Democracy in Britain is completely dead. Fascists like Theresa May are truly enemies of the people. I don't see any reason to treat the ruling junta - which has no democratic mandate, and rules only because of the undemocratic electoral system. I guess UK citizens have now to use non-uk hosted proxies, or tor to avoid being part of this totalitarian nightmare. The UK media has done a non-existen job of holding the nazi junta to account.
"Public to effect pressure on the government."
You need a lot of people willing to literally go to *this* government's jails in a civil disobedience protest for this tactic to work as anything other than a weaponized surprise attack that if carried out at scale would cause even further unpleasantness to those arrested. I'm not all that optimistic that even if you had all those people willing to take that risk, that you would effect enough pressure on the government to change. By the point you got enough people that hard core about the issue, you might as well fight your battle with newspaper editorials and opinion essays. I think that would be more successful anyway.

I'll just leave this here.
Either you are with the majority who want security theatre and are willing to pay that cost by surrendering your liberty and freedom or you have no excuse to complain. The people telling you to leave when you complain about such things are wrong, but unlike in the past you now have a real choice to do just that. There is large and active migration movement called the Free State Project that's driving people to New Hampshire for the purpose of undoing these draconian laws. Those who want freedom and liberty are moving. The excuses why people don't move tend to be laughable. For example "a migration of 20,000 people can't achieve anything even in a small low population state like New Hampshire" or that "you can't achieve freedom without succession and the civil war settled that".
The problem with this line of thinking is that it disregards the fact that an active minority can have a disproportionate impact on politics and the state and we're already seeing that with liberty-minded politicians being elected at all levels of state and local government in New Hampshire as a direct result of the Free State Project.
The other problem with the later part is that the states lock up more people than the federal government so you really don't even need a secession movement to achieve a significantly less oppressive government. If you can fix the state you can work toward secession later. The other issue is that just because secession failed once does not mean it'll fail if tried again. The civil war was also settled violently, not legally, so we could try it again and the outcome could be different. The world is constantly changing and the conditions within change as well. While there is not an immediate foreseeable set of conditions that are looking like they are opening up an opportunity for a successful secessionist movement things can change very quickly. Wars are also fought by a minority of the population, and even if the majority did not want secession it could still technically be achieved provided a minority of persons of a certain age backed it, and were willing to fight. Violent secessionist movements generally aren't won by the majority, but by a minority. Now that is not to say that I think secession is the answer in any near-future scenario even if there is an active non-violent secessionist movement in New Hampshire already.
The thing to remember about libertarians is they/we are fundamentally against the use of the violence to achieve political or social goals. For a violent libertarian secessionist movement to work you would have to make the argument that the federal government was using violence against a non-violent people because the only acceptable use of violence is in self defence. That said I can say this: There probably isn't a real libertarian in New Hampshire who would argue that the government isn't using violence against us already.

Expect every IM, website, and social media post to be readable with an ip and account details in real time by teams of in house SJW, NGO's and gov/mil staff. :)
So all freedom of speech is gone from any UK isp account with a UK ip.
Tempora https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... "gain access to large amounts of Internet users' personal data, without any individual suspicion or targeting."
Once noticed, expect computer entry. The gov and mil will enter and alter your computer, network or any other device.
Expect that device to report all movements if your in the media or in contact with the media.
Whistleblowers reaching out to the traditional media won't get beyond the first call or meeting.
What can the press and media do?
Create a series of devices and fill them with fiction. Reports, searches, contacts. Use any UK isp for searches for amazing new stories with background help from informants and insiders. Sock puppet contacts with details of meetings. Walk, drive out for such meetings so gps and other tracking can collect. Select a good location to meet "someone" handing over vast amounts of data.
Then do days of background research with as much jargon, mil, science and party political terms as possible.
Flood the digital collection system with a lot of work related fiction everyday in plain text. Any real contact would be without an electronic devices, away from CCTV. Any phone been given to a friend to walk around with and handed back later. Buy a typewriter. Create your own secure shorthand for paper notes. Learn about one time pads. Once a story is ready, publish early, fully and often. Expect all networks and digital files to be searched. So have a lot of digital fiction ready
The UK gov and mil hope that a lot of new SJW, gov staff and volunteers can cover an entire nation of networked users. Physical access to a site will be rare as such teams of contractors are so expensive and might be reported or seen. Buying any new computer or network device with a CC or online is a risk if working in the media. Expect upgrades as delivered. Use and buy any such devices for fictional creativity.
VPN and onion routing are not much use for the media given the public court reporting about online tracking at a now low cost per case.
Democracy and public interaction and the fear of been reported will be very chilling for democracy.
The other real issue will be for the reader comments in the UK. Expect SJW reporting to gov and teams of gov staff looking over any and all comments.
A good VPN well outside 5 eye nations or the EU might still allow freedom of speech until the comment is removed or comments get turned off.
Credit card use on a VPN would also be an issue.

I'm not sure that it's actually true. I'm a liberal in US, but I dabble in some hobbies that have a very strong conservative bias among its adherents (guns), and so I talk to these guys a lot, and, more importantly, hear them talk between each other. And their picture has been decidedly doom & gloom for a while now, even when "their" politicians are in office - they do acknowledge the reality of the demographic change, for example, and understand that it'll shift votes not in their favor long term. They're definitely more optimistic now with Trump in office, but I wouldn't say that it changed their long-term outlook much. They still see it as inevitable slope downwards to "socialism", with the only thing they can really do is putting up an occasional roadblock, like they did this year.
