tbh, if it makes us safer I don't have a problem with the security services looking at our internet history.

 

Let's face it anyone googling "how to make a bomb in your kitchen" and "kill infidels" should be investigated.

Thin end of the wedge though? Was it hitler that said about eroding people's civil liberties in tiny pieces ?

I fail to see how the government could possibly find the manpower to sift through this astronomical amount of information and make use of it. And for what?

All this worry about big brother and loss of privacy is moot.

We are all so connected these days that any agency, NSA, Mi6 etc can access ALL of your stuff easily if they want to. So can talented hackers if they feel like it.

It's not just the stuff of movies, I know a teenager who can hack your Facebook account in seconds! It's amazing what else he can gain access to in under a minute!

I'm all for open access to be honest. I've got nothing to hide but I do fear corruption.

Always put a piece of tape over the camera on your laptop or phone - some phones have 2, and one of them is pointing at your face, capturing every treacherous micro-expression as you feast you eyes on....instructions how to kill infidels...or whatever.

Hacking is the problem. Criminals use more secure methods to browse so I can't see much point of the law. What will happen though is everyone's browsing data will be at the mercy of hackers wanting to blackmail people or just cause trouble.

Are you Nigel Farage moonlighting as an arborist?

I'd imagine that GCHQ would use an automated programme to find suspicious behaviour. Before the Internet there was a list of books that if you borrowed from the library the Intelligence agencies would be informed....

 

If someone has decided to commit a terrorist attack it's likely they will look at certain websites. Maybe a website on making wills? Maybe a bomb making website? Maybe they have suddenly insured their life?

Would the really get paid out for life insurance?
