Unbelievable ... the amount of information that the UK govt wants to collect.
For starters...
It gets more depressing with every page you read...INTERNET CONNECTION RECORDS
What are they?
44. A kind of communications data, an ICR is a record of the internet services a specific
device has connected to, such as a website or instant messaging application. It is captured
by the company providing access to the internet. Where available, this data may be
acquired from CSPs by law enforcement and the security and intelligence agencies.
45. An ICR is not a person’s full internet browsing history. It is a record of the services
that they have connected to, which can provide vital investigative leads. It would not reveal
every web page that they visit or anything that they do on that web page.
Why do we need them?
46. ICRs are vital to law enforcement investigations in number of ways. For example:
To establish what services a known suspect or victim has used to communicate
online, allowing investigators to request more specific communications data
To establish whether a known suspect has been involved in online criminality, for
example sharing indecent images of children, accessing terrorist material or fraud
To identify services a suspect has accessed which could help in an investigation
including, for example, mapping services
