Snooper's law receives Royal Assent.
The controversial bill known as 'The Snoopers Law' has received Royal Assent, despite concerns that it breaches our Human Rights and goes too far. A petition on the government web site has attracted over 130,000 signatures calling for the law to be scrapped, unfortunately for the supporters of this, it comes much too late however it does reflect the strength of feeling.
It's ironic that in a week that sees the release of the film, 'Snowden' the story of an American that wanted to expose the extent the American Government was monitoring its people, the UK government chooses to increase its own monitoring capability; well there is now such a thing as bad publicity!
With the introduction of the new rules every communications company will need to retain the records of all visits and messages for twelve months.
The bill has sailed through parliament without much concern from MP's, unlike the many concerns raised by those in the Tec industry.
Do the MP's know something, such as the need for the security services to do their job?
Do those within the Industry or those with human rights concerns have a valid argument, is this just morally wrong?
I am sure this debate will rage on, and now the petition has over 100,000 votes it must be discussed in the house of commons, but I have a feeling it will not make a difference.
More likely to make a difference are the imminent legal challenges which, if successful, will mean the law will need amending.
The Leaky Cauldron!
The internet service providers will need to keep this mass of information, chats, web sites etc. for a year, at any time several organisations can access this information without obtaining a warrant and I suspect it will become a huge target for hackers, the concern would surely be a leak of the information or a breach in the security which, history tells us, can't always be avoided.
The rest of the bill deals with security operations and legal standing for their conduct, and the introduction of the 'double lock' which is an anything goes surveillance protocol where the security services can tap into computers, phones etc
Those that want to hide what they are doing will try tricks like virtual private networks to hide, and thwart the security services, everyone else will carry on as normal, unless the data appears one day in the public domain...
