Everyone who can now see your entire internet history, including the taxman, DWP and Food Standards Agency

The Investigatory Powers Bill, which was all but passed into law this week, forces internet providers to keep a full list of Internet Connection Records (ICRs) for a year, and make them available to the government if it asks. Those ICRs effectively serve as a full list of every website that people have visited, not collecting which specific pages are visited or what's done on them but serving as a full list of every site that someone has visited and when.

And those same ICRs will be made available to a wide range of government bodies. Those include expected law enforcement organisations like the police, the military and the secret service – but also contain bodies like the Food Standards Agency, the Gambling Commission, council bodies and the Welsh Ambulance Services National Health Service Trust.

Entire title couldn't fit in the title box on DP. Apologies about that.

This should terrify anyone that is for an open and free internet. Its only a matter of time before this happens in America. 1984 doesn't seem that far off at all.

True to a degree, but if I want to go silent I can and so can others.

If you're using Tor and you're a node that allows a link to the outside world (the web) then your activity could still be concealed by bouncing off other nodes in the system but anyone that finds themselves exiting through your node to access the web can be traced to you as if you were the one that accessed what ever they did.

I don't use it, but I know folks that do and I also know one that spent a lot of money trying to prove it wasn't him that accessed some things that shouldn't have been accessed from his IP address.

1984 seems a long way off.... 32 years in fact.... one marriage, two kids, three houses, I would have to count the job changes ago......

Maybe I am missing the point?

Can't tell if you're being serious or what.

Happy to clarify.... I am not being serious.

Perhaps I am making a little bit of a snide comment to the notion that 1984 is ahead of us (and the we are nearing it).... its not a head of us, we have been in 1984 for quite some time now. This is just more evidence thereof.

Personally, I suspect that the employees of the NSA are so bored of seeing porn by now that when they see members of their respective sexual orientation naked they feel nothing inside.

I said that giving the Government control of the Internet was a bad idea.

Many here assured me I was nuts. Net Neutrality is about an open and free Internet they said. The Government will just be collecting all that data to keep the ISPs in line they said.

Notice how little scorn of China controlling the internet there is when everyone is trying to work with/in China or copy the Chinese program.

These being the same Chinese who just ordered the residents of Xinjiang Province to turn in their passports.

Keepers of our values they are not.

That ship has mostly set sail now that Western Elite have seen how well the Chinese system works to keep order... keeps the little people in line.

And you know "online bullying" and "child pornography"....that is to say "SAFETY!"

Americans never refuse the offer to trade freedom for vague promises of safety.
 
Re: Everyone who can now see your entire internet history, including the taxman, DWP.

But guys, you can't expect privacy in the public. If you can't expect privacy then obviously anything the government does is ok.

I love how that argument is constantly being shown to be a complete load of horse****.
 
Re: Everyone who can now see your entire internet history, including the taxman, DWP.

Organizations including the Food Standards Agency and the Department for Work and Pensions will be able to see UK citizens’ entire internet browsing history within weeks.

This is in the United Kingdom, not the USA.

Shouldn't this be in the European Forum? :confused:

I love the other authoritarian argument. If you are doing nothing wrong, then you've got nothing to worry about.

My response is the following: If I am doing nothing wrong, then what I am doing is none of the government's damn business.

I read that Germany just passed a law curtailing a lot of citizens privacy.
