This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Stop the Investigatory Powers Bill
This bill is a breach of human rights. It enforces all ISPs (i.e.: BT, Virgin et al.) to store 1 year's browsing history on ALL users WITHOUT cause, warrant or criminal suspicion, allowing total surveillance. It is ludicrously vague, among other issues. It also exempts MPs from this surveillance.
More details
All connection data, emails, social media etc., likely including encryption keys, would also be stored, which is a huge security concern: One hack, and all data would be available.
