So the snoopers charters came into force in the U.K. today. Ars Technica did a good breakdown of it http://arstechnica.co.uk/tech-policy/2016/11/investigatory-powers-act-imminent-peers-clear-path-for-uk-super-snoop-law/ The major issue is the requirement for all ISPs to log all internet usage and make it available to a wide range of government bodies upon request. Sounds serious but is pointless as all I did was switch my VPN to an Icelandic server and I have privacy again. Iceland has very strong privacy laws. I'm not particular worried about the security services looking through my internet history but it's a massive target for any hacker. I would prefer not to have Russian hacker with a whole bunch of personal data. The whole legislation seems ill thought out as it is easily circumvented. Basically Tor or a VPN negates it. I wonder if they'll double down and try and ban those next. What do you think goons? Will our weird porn fetishes stay safe?

Basically a bunch of old tories confused about this newfangled internet thing, some people with pre-existing damage from having been home secretary, and random idiots voted for a thing they don't understand.

The rest of my internet history must be the result of a virus or something. Seriously though, it does seem like most of the legislators didn't really understand the technology and how pointlessl most of the laws will be. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Let's ban encryption. Actually let's just ban the tcp/ip protocol and go back to teletext.

I suppose if anyone has a list of VPNs to try out that the service is based in a place that has good privacy laws, now would be a good time to do so.
