Comment on UK's new Snoopers Charter just passed an encryption backdoor law by the backdoor

So the UK just killed their ISP and hosting industry. Welcome in Germany

I don't see how people living in the UK can just decide not use a UK ISP, unless they choose to forgo having an internet connection completely.

I don't think Germany is much better...

its written into the constitution that they don't do this, cause of their gestapo history. Ironically Germany are the safest bet because of their past.

Constitution means nothing. Check this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/5fxy9s/whistlebl...

I do not know of any German law which is comparable. Do you have a citation?

I agree with the sentiment, but at least legality of snooping has not been settled yet.

According to the German BSD scandal they still observe the 10% rule. Don't dragnet more than 10% - for their American friends. Whilst most others just take all.
