Not to mention their Gerrymandering attempts.

Aye, this lot are such a bloody worry!

This if implemented would more than likely just push more and more people onto the 'dark web' out of protest.

any net access they make via their isp is actually logged already, dark web or not. All this does is allow them access to the data for dubious reasons.

So if the dark web is trackable then what's the point in it?Idk much about tbh other than a documentary i recently watched on Youtube about it.

everything is tracked, its just that laws currently protect users data from all but very specific instances. What they are doing is widening the scope of the reasons for accessing it, and the agencies that can do it.

Seriously?? Like I get if there were individuals they were worried about, accessing their browsing histories may be acceptable, but just normal people going on about their day? Bit too 1984 if you ask me.

If that's the case, then why has our ministry of defence been cut by 20 percent and why has this ministry been told to prepare for further reductions of 20 to 40 percent. Why since 2010 are our armed forces being downsized, our military capabilities slashed and our economic interests put way ahead of any international security.

I call bollox on this one.

Big Brother...we are watching you.

fair points

agreed, although I think it would be infinitely worse than this, the abuses would be catastrophic. imagine how politicians would use this against future opponents?

What is the definition of a normal person though, if you look any recent terrorist atrocities a common theme is ..no one realised, they were the best son, dad, husband, wife, seemed very normal etc etc

This is incorrect, if you are accessing the darkweb properly (via a VPN or other method of encryption) then your ISP can't see what you're doing, other than that you're sending and receiving encrypted information, which could potentially "flag" you I guess. They can't actually see what you've been looking at or where you've been browsing (dark web OR normal) unless they've got someone very skilled actively monitoring you personally.

Northern Monkey · 30-10-2015, 01:30 PM

Like i said in another thread.I think we have to be very careful about the amount of power we afford the government and secret services.Things like this are never reversed,Once it's in...It's in for good.Even if we trust those in power at the moment who's to say we will trust whoever replaces them twenty or thirty years down the line.Where is the limit to the powers that we grant to these people?This will not be the end.A line has to be drawn somewhere.How long before our phones,laptops and tablets are projecting live feed of our day to day movements.That truly will be Big Brother in real life.It may seem far fetched but it's not a giant leap from where we are today,Infact these things are currently very possible technologically.

To save me Googling - WTF is The Dark Net -- I thought it was something fictional that they tried to snare Darth Vader with.
