Snoopers Charter

[Cold]

The Snoopers Charter has been passed. Got anything involving donkeys or white powder in your regular browsing? Might be time for a VPN.

"the only amendment that the bill received from MPs was a measure that stopped themselves being spied on".

Cretins!

That said, with or without this bill the spies have been doing this for ages anyway.

[Some Gump]

I give it a year before the "we know what frankie you watch" blackmail starts from the Russians.
Wonder which will be the first ISP's hacked?

I put a lot of effort and resourcefulness into researching my porn. It seems highly unfair that someone can just come along and steal my work for free.

I think every politician who voted for this should be filmed 24-7, including every time they take a shower and go to the toilet, then the footage should be posted on the Internet. I also hope they're the first victims of these new "powers" and the hacking and misuse that'll no doubt result from them. Utter scumbags.

The bill is so badly worded, the ISPs don't actually know what they're supposed to be logging. There's plenty of info on it from Adrian Kennard (of Andrews & Arnold - an ISP) in his blog - www.me.uk.

Tor Browser installations will skyrocket.

It was genuine lol moment. Can't be arsed to find my thread on pedal power, but thanks for the advice on tyres. You were 100% right and it helped a lot.

They help up to a point, and then it's so muddy anything gets overwhelmed, even my trusty Magic Marys last night:

Yup, already had a tor+secure VPN set up that I use every now and then for 'reasons'. I'm going to make a point of using it permanently for all non-ping intensive tasks from now on simply as a form of silent protest against this horrendous encroachment on to public privacy. Although means of evading their surveillance are going to be the next thing to be made illegal, mark my words.

I know there are a lot of older folks who arn't necessarily technically minded on here, so if anyone would like a hand setting up a tor browser drop me a PM I can link you to some guides and try to give a helping hand if you get stuck.

Mrs May's vision for Britain is certainly a dystopian one.

But who is watching the watchers?

Doesn't matter, no need to watch them. It's become apparent, IMO, that we're governed and have been for decades by many hundreds of corrupt perverts, child abusers, liars and thieves. Some of them are all of that.

The problem is that when anyone is under threat they close ranks and protect their own, we've seen a lot of that recently.

Yes, originally they did propose to outlaw Encryption. They quickly got blown out of the water when it was pointed out that encryption is pretty much required on the internet for many very legal uses; and it would destroy business to remove it.

[jjlynn27]

I doubt that there will be significant uptake of Tor + VPN. People are just too lazy, they'll moan a bit about privacy and continue to use internet as they were, in huge majority of cases. People who actually want something to hide, can do it so easily that it's not even funny. Hugely costly exercise led by people who seemingly don't understand first thing about security.

Scary isn't it. This really is Big Brother..

[Halmyre]

I urge anyone who has nothing to hide to forward the entire contents of their e-mails and hard disk to Ms May. It's only fair that she sees how much we're behind her.
