It sickens me that Britain passed the most extreme surveillance law ever. America is supposed to be number 1 at everything. C'mon congress, get on the ball! Don't let America be out done by Britain.
It will be interesting to see the response when this data is hacked and the browsing histories of the politicians who passed it are released to the public.
Soo... What is the UK government so scared of that they need to do this?
Coming up with a way to dirty the data from our IPs (i.e. a program that randomly hits domains via multiple browsers that everyone just runs as a background service)
Will the citizens allow it to be passed if they knew about it via some news source? Of course "news" now a days is about kardarshians or justin beiber than about things that requires serious attention. This may have hardly got tiny little square cm area in newspapers or 30 seconds air time. Thus sinks democracy. People who are informed are way less in number than non-informed people, but all get to vote thus diluting…
Yes, this has received extensive coverage over the last two years. Google "BBC snoopers' charter" for some examples.
As a UK resident, this irks me beyond belief. It's a sickening invasion of human rights[1]. To echo u/rubberstamps sentiments, it's such that there's been little to no coverage of this in the media. But it's the same everywhere, introduce an encroaching bill, have uproar from those with the heads screwed on (the minority). Let it grow a little stale in the publics eye and keep reintroducing with slight alterations it…

The first thing that comes to mind here is that data is only good if it is quality data... dirty data isn't good or reliable. Coming up with a way to dirty the data from our IPs (i.e. a program that randomly hits domains via multiple browsers that everyone just runs as a background service)
Alas, I feel like the US isn't far behind. It feels like this will be the norm soon enough.

Interestingly, privacy matters less to "wage-slaves" than to entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs value their reputations more, having to gain approval from strangers more often. Meeting with a customer/VC/bank/mayor/state committee/supplier for the first time? good chance they'll google you. In a typical corporate desk job, they do some basic checking (arrest record) at hire, then leave you alone. I'm sorry this doesn't hel…
