They will not

I think the Govt, with this policy in its present form, will have difficulty getting it though intact, especially with Theresa May plugging its case too, she must be one the worst Home Secretary's ever,
I wouldn't be trusting her as to signing warrants of any kind I'm afraid.

Another likely, 'have to think again' policy.

Chris Fox, former head of the Association of Chief Police Officers, said the move would be "a massive intervention by the state into people's private lives".

"If you are investigating crime you have targets... it just seems to be overkill and intrusive for the 99.9% of the rest of us."

He said the idea was "fraught with danger for the innocent vast majority", not least that of misidentification, which could result from genuine criminals disguising their communications as those of law-abiding citizens.

If Clegg told me the sky was blue I would have to check to see that it was true.

Infact it has been proven that during the August Riots last year more things were planned via BBM style apps more than Facebook and Twitter comments.

I really do not care. They've had it in Singapore for years. If I don't know anyone personally who could see what I was doing it would not bother me at all.

Well that's not really a good enough excuse.
If they had compulsory strip searches in the "name of terrorism", would you suggest that it is fair and you should be ok with it if you've got nothing to hide? People should still be entitled to their privacy.

The bit people are ignoring

A new law - which may be announced in the forthcoming Queen's Speech in May - would not allow GCHQ to access the content of emails, calls or messages without a warrant.

Once GCHQ have access to the proposed level of information, it is inevitable that that access will be abused - someone will sell off the info or leave a laptop full of it on the tube .....

Analysis of those details of users' web access, email and internet phone calls containing the sender, recipient, time of communication and geographical location, would provide some very useful data for certain *interested parties* in, say, the marketing, communications and political spheres .....

* Cameron's Cronies .....

Critics have warned that any new law could end up being used more widely than originally intended - similar to the controversial Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, which has been used by local authorities to check on children's school catchment areas.

Details of internet use in the UK will have to be stored for a year to allow police and intelligence services to access it, under government plans.

Records will include people's activity on social network sites, webmail, internet phone calls and online gaming.

Home Secretary Theresa May said the change was needed to keep up with how criminals were using new technology.

The Communications Bill is to be published in draft form on Thursday - but the government faces a battle to get it through Parliament intact, with Lib Dem MPs and Conservatives such as Mr Davis calling for it to be watered down or abandoned altogether.

Under current legislation, communications companies must keep phone records and information about messages sent via their own email services for 12 months.

Officers would still need to obtain a warrant to gain access to the content of the online communication.

But the government would be able to request any service provider to keep data about internet usage, although initially it will involve about a dozen firms including BT, Virgin and Sky.

Tory backbencher David Davis, a former shadow home secretary who fought a by-election in the last Parliament on the issue of civil liberties, described the proposals as "incredibly intrusive" and said they would only "catch the innocent and incompetent".

Do you have a comment on the subject arista or just out for a troll?
Thought this would come back into the public eye following the 'Habbo Hotel' revelations, I would have thought it was obvious that a chatroom full of teens would be a magnet for preditors?
It would have been far more intelligent to simply begin an operation to weed out the peadophiles using officers posing as kids?...
Rather than mute the site and have them all scurry back into the undergrowth?..
