Am I wrong to assume that all this does is legitimise what has been going on for some time?

My thoughts entirely. Everyone's a terrorist suspect nowadays.

Apparently they can even track things that have been written but not sent.

 

I keep having this recurring dream of being filmed, sandwiched between Theresa May & Angela Merkel, with Nigel Farage doing the voiceover.....

 

I will not hit the return button

Not quite. Assuming you're not a terrorist, tax evader or have a late library book the difference is your ISPs will record every web site you visit and keep those details for a year. What concerns many is those details will get hacked so anyone will be able to find out what you visit. Note, AFAIK, only the main website details will be recorded, not the individual babe you're looking at.

Yes & No, In the past a court order was applied for & generally issued. The difference here is that a wide range of suthorities have access. The chances they dont handle or control the slurped data correctly is fairly high & the opportunity for abuse is vast.

 

As for monitoring individuals who may commit terrorism or paedos, I doubt very much if it will be of use as they already using strong encryption on the dark web over Tor services.

 

Its exception reporting that works best with extremely large datasets as opposed to needlessly harvesting everything when searching for the needle in the haystack.

Are they recording data? I thought logins aren't recorded, just the site?

They have the ability to hack your laptop camera to track your eye movement while you're online, to discover if you're a tit or ass man.....
