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.

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

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.

This is good tbh. It will help the police find out more info when dealing with online bullying, hacking, terrorism, etc etc.

I didnt realise they weren't allowed to do so before...

Yeah it's great - almost as good as in 2017, when they're going to be putting CCTV into every home. It will really help the police when dealing with domestic violence issues so why would anyone have a problem with it?

They probably will

There are plans for all adult related to be part of a scheme which has a central database that contains your details and that are over the age of 18. To access a adult site your access will have to be verified by the central server.

The implementation of the Communications Data Bill will mean that the access to that server will be recorded and records of your viewing habits will be available to government agencies.

Theresa May rules out keeping web browsing data

Security agencies will not be given powers to look at a suspect's website browsing history under new laws, Home Secretary Theresa May has said.
She also told the BBC that companies would not be banned from encrypting data, as she prepares to present a new security bill to Parliament this week.
The bill will allow agencies to see who has spoken to whom, and when.
Former head of GCHQ Sir David Omand has called for internet firms to be forced by law to keep users' browsing history.
He said such data was not for spying on the public but to see "for example, whether a suspect has downloaded a terrorist manual".

Thanks for this BitOnTheSlide it certainly puts a new slant on it.

Three pages in and not a sign of 'if you've nothing to hide, you've nothing to fear'?

Wow, maybe people finally became self-aware of the irony of posting such a statement on a Big Brother forum.

I don't know what all the fuss is about really; If you've nothing to fear then you have obviousy nothing to hide.

Sorry Jack - Couldn't resist.

That should be the case,however over zealous Police activity has been responsible for people being accused of things they haven't done before and down to other members of the public too.

It indeed would be wonderful for all who have done nothing illegal to have no fear of the authorities but if authority is not properly checked then big mistakes can come about.
Even for a time to the innocent.

[The shelved Communications Data Bill - labelled a ''snooper's charter'' by critics - would have required
companies to retain phone and email data to include records of browsing activity, social media use and
internet gaming, among other things.
It was blocked by the Liberal Democrats due to privacy concerns during the coalition government
but the forthcoming Investigatory Powers Bill could revive the measures.
Tory MP David Davis told The Times: "It's extraordinary they're asking for this again,
they are overreaching and there is no proven need to retain such data for a year."]
