Rebekah Brooks knows what you wank to
"The purpose is to allow law enforcement agencies to identify the communications service to which a device has connected. ....There are questions as to how collecting and storing ICRs is technically possible, and whether Data Retention Notices to retain all user ICRs are ‘necessary and proportionate’."
Collecting ALL internet records on EVERYONE and handing them over for EVERY purpose can never be necessary or proportionate.
Do you really want newspaper editors seeing into your private lives MPs? No? Yet that is what this does. David Camerons IP address visited Pig Fanciers forum! Cameron Loves Porkies!
Then there's the question of political stability. It's necessary in a democracy to have privacy, Parliament cannot be spied on while it deliberates because foreign powers would seek to head off legislation they don't like. Political groups seeking power need protection from the parties in power. Journalists need to protect their sources, Judges protect their deliberations, Lawyers protect their confidential discussions.
You learned that Obama gets a briefing on the private political discussions of leaders around the world. He knows their talking points before they give their speeches. Do you think he just reads and forgets and those are never acted on?
If all men are equal why are some of them snoopers and some of them victims of snooping?
How can Parliament control the snoopers if the snoopers control Parliament?
And history shows countries 'turned', use their spy apparatus against their people. Parliament did not approve Charles Farrs 'magic' re-interpretation of legislation. And government after government has been elected under this surveillance regime kept it hidden from Parliament, but not from Charles Farr. We've been turned.
With certain individuals having huge amounts of private data and leverage on officials vying for electing. The idea that they wouldn't use that power is naive.
So Cameron is not our PM, he's the one chosen from the set of PM's permitted by the surveillance apparatus. If they didn't approve him, his embarrassing selfies would be over the tabloids. As so many other MPs have experienced.
Snoopers Charter has been rejected many many times by Parliament, it is not law, you snoopers need to realize you've been turned.
