Snoopy go home
The government is planning a massive extension of the number of public bodies that can snoop on details of telephone calls, email and web traffic.
The Regulation of Investigatory Powers (RIP) Act is to be amended so that bodies including district councils, local authorities, and the Department of Health will be able to gain access to web and email data.
These bodies are going to obtain this personal data on anyone they wish, without any effective way of checking what they're doing.
This is done inorder to quote: INTERCEPT AND OBSTRUCT TERRORISM
.
The PATRIOT ACT:

is one of meny steps to close the borders of the US internet.
