    UK - Investigatory Powers Bill

    Unbelievable ... the amount of information that the UK govt wants to collect.

    For starters...

    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
    It gets more depressing with every page you read...

    That's why when you search for dodgy stuff you do it on an open wifi connection or a prepaid sim etc.

    Not difficult to work around it.

    In all seriousness though, Wikileaks, security websites, twitter feeds that I visit could be considered shady.
