'Snoopers law creates security nightmare'

oh no

i will have to stop visiting chit chat forum or else they might
think i'm in the chit chat clan

So we will be able to work out how much Facebook and Twitter cost the UK economy.

its a good law...one of the very few our government has made.

VPN sales to go thru the roof

not all vpns are good but yes....

also many vpns are supposed to report dodgy activity....many turn a blind eye to accessing tv content etc.

I'm sure the Gambling Commission was one of the authorities they could snoop with a permit, at least they was at one point. Maybe the lords pulled that via an amendment.

The law is a complete violation but as it already as Royal Assent, too late to scrap it.

Actually it wasn't removed from the bill, here's a full list of people who can snoop:-

VPNs are just one method. there's many ways around it if you're determined enough to stay under the radar

Food Standards Agency will be checking which of you fat b@stards are buying turkey twizzlers.

VPN *maybe* ok if you are not being hacked and watched (this is where they hack your comp and see everything live) but that requires special authorisation .... everything else is a free for all for all those public sector bodies. Tax man will be able to see everything.

Can the jobcentre snoop

While jobsearchers ( none i know ofcourse ) are betting instead of looking for jobs can they see

Department for Work and Pensions

That's the Job Centre isn't it? It's a scary bill. Theresa May is a ****.

I think this is so the GOV can get access to all the youngsters on Facebook and Instagram to check out who they can take get to easy.

I don't think anyone on here has anything to hide unless they let it slip we all bet 50ps

Ah i see the DWP are included what a fooking surprise

Don't VPN's slow your internet speed down esp the stronger encryption service you are using, does't sound good for Betfair.



I imagine the DWP will be targeting the long term unemployed.

What they going to do say you watched a p0rn0 at 11.00am when you should have been searching job sites


You googled todays news at 11.30am can you tell us why please

How do they know who is using the device if more than 1 person stays at said address

cant see a proplem less youre a peedo or terrorist

^ thats what they want you to think.


Its about controlling the masses. They've lost control recently with Brexit, Trump etc. This is how they reclaim control.

Would you let you next door neighbour check what you have been watching and reading for the last year if none of they 2?

I know i wouldn't want people knowing my business whether it's betting , checking what medication i may need for an illness , reading is supposed to take your mind away from it all but if people know what your reading about then it may play on your head.


I know nothing i do is worthy of snoopers but i still don't fancy people knowing what i do as i use the computer alot seen as it's my main income.

Facebook/Twitter have private settings for a reason so only people you are friends or follow an see and talk to you.

The GOV are full of P's and we all know it so we know what they are after.Young blood i would watch out who contacts your kids on these sites or cut the broadband whether they like it or now.

Doesn't just apply to the internet. It applies to any communications network which includes postal services as well.

The kind of legislation you'd have been surprised to see get made in the GDR.

Must be because all the drugs in the postal system

So shrewd can they open your mail?

Opera flogs browsers and VPN to Chinese consortium for $600m
The cool kids all use Vivaldi these days anyway
opera-browser
The Opera web browser: Going, going gone to the consortium from China

PIONEERING WEB browser company Opera is selling its core consumer technology to a Chinese consortium for a knock-down $600m just a week after a proposed $1.2bn acquisition of the company by the same motley crew of private equiteers and tech companies supposedly fell through.

Opera is selling its name, the mobile and desktop browser businesses and its privacy and performance applications. These include the SurfEasy virtual private network (VPN) offering that is now built in to the Opera browser, which the firm acquired in March 2015.

From certain quarters it has become known that a built-in VPN service for Opera is just a proxy server in its functions. Last week the Opera developers told that renewed Opera is supplied not only with ad blocker but also with a built-in VPN service. A Polish researcher Michal Spacek has tested the Opera’s new facility and come to a conclusion that the VPN is just a proxy server in its functions.
A strange note on the settings page of the Opera has got the researcher’s attention. It is said there that a secure proxy is provided by SurfEasy Inc. Having read the note, Michal has decided to get to the bottom of the facility and that is what he has discovered:
He has assured that the VPN is just a configured proxy that encrypts the traffic between Opera and proxy and nothing more.
In addition, the browser is known to protect only HTTP/HTTPS traffic, thus for providing you with a really secure networking you need to think about a qualitative VPN usage.
Surprisingly enough, the Opera developers have proved the researcher’s results about the VPN functions. Opera has announced that the VPN is just a built-in facility for browser, which is designed to protect a browser’s traffic and nothing more.
And the last thing, have you heard that Opera browser doesn’t hinder your real IP address even with a VPN being switched on? The problem lies in WebRTC. Fortunately, as the issue is peculiar to all the up-to-date browsers, Opera has already taken care of this. There is a special add-on known as WebRTC Leak Prevent, which is created to solve the problem. However, some of the users confirm that even this function doesn’t help to eliminate the problem. The add-on is known to hide your local address but it reveals a public one. So, stay safe while networking and consider a reliable VPN usage.

any thoughts on LiquidVPN ?

So shrewd can they open your mail?

yes

can see a lot of people having to find a new way of making money

dark net and postal went hand in hand for people

Whatever people's personal feelings are about Edward Snowden and the things he did I believe everyone should watch this recent interview, and if nothing more think about what he says at 33mins in.
