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

Comments

Even if you believe it's a necessary evil in principle, the implementation is bad enough to want to be against this particular law. The list of agencies who could gain access is laughable and there's nothing that fills me with confidence about ISPs storing people's browsing history with proper security. Three and TalkTalk have both had massive data breaches recently, and I have precisely zero confidence that there won't be a huge data breach/leak in the next few years.

Hopefully the knee-jerk reaction to the inevitable massive leak will put this law where it belongs.
