Careful where you ''browse'' boys and girls...
The Investigatory Powers Bill will get royal assent on Tuesday. More than 130,000 people have signed a petition calling for it to be scrapped.
Tim Berners-Lee has said it creates a "security nightmare".
Edward Snowden has described it as the most extreme surveillance in the history of Western democracy.
But soon records of every website and messaging service UK-based citizens visit from any device will be retained for a year by communications companies.

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:-
The full list of agencies that can now ask for UK citizens’ browsing history, which is laid out in Schedule 4 of the Bill and was collected by Chris Yiu, is below: Metropolitan Police Service City of London Police Police forces maintained under section 2 of the Police Act 1996 Police Service of Scotland Police Service of Northern Ireland British Transport Police Ministry of Defence Police Royal Navy Police Royal Military Police Royal Air Force Police Security Service Secret Intelligence Service GCHQ Ministry of Defence Department of Health Home Office Ministry of Justice National Crime Agency HM Revenue & Customs Department for Transport Department for Work and Pensions NHS trusts and foundation trusts in England that provide ambulance services Common Services Agency for the Scottish Health Service Competition and Markets Authority Criminal Cases Review Commission Department for Communities in Northern Ireland Department for the Economy in Northern Ireland Department of Justice in Northern Ireland Financial Conduct Authority Fire and rescue authorities under the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004 Food Standards Agency Food Standards Scotland Gambling Commission Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority Health and Safety Executive Independent Police Complaints Commissioner Information Commissioner NHS Business Services Authority Northern Ireland Ambulance Service Health and Social Care Trust Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service Board Northern Ireland Health and Social Care Regional Business Services Organisation Office of Communications Office of the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland Police Investigations and Review Commissioner Scottish Ambulance Service Board Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission Serious Fraud Office Welsh Ambulance Services National Health Service Trust |

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.

By:
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. |

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. |

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

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 Graeme Burton @graemeburton 18 July 2016 5 Comments 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. |

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.
