Ask HN: What Is Your view on the UK Investigatory Powers Bill?
2 points by ipbillthrowaway on Nov 2, 2015 | hide | past | favorite
The Investigatory Powers bill, currently under discussion by UK Parliament, would require ISPs to log all activity for 12 months, and (most worryingly), give warrantless access to police and local government.

The potential for over-reach and abuse is obvious, and frightening.

What's your reaction to the bill? And what specific steps will you be taking to protect your privacy?
