[Chapter-delegates] UK Bill

[Richard Hill]

Sadly, the situation that Olivier describes seems not to be limited to the UK.  As I mentioned previously, the referendum against the new Swiss surveillance law was rejected by a large majority of voters.


Best,

Richard

Thank you Glenn.

 

It is worth noting that ISOC UK England tried to make quite some noise about this bill yet it appears that we were shouting in the desert. People are more interested in other things these days. 

 

Kindest regards, 

Olivier

UK Passes Snooper’s Charter Bill, Edward Snowden Calls It ‘Most Extreme Surveillance in the History of Western Democracy’

It’s official title is the Investigatory Powers Bill and it’s a huge expansion of the British government’s surveillance powers, the biggest overhaul in a decade. The bill has been heavily criticized by human rights organizations like  <http://www.smash.com/uk-parliament-want-rush-bill-allowing-mass-government-surveillance-snooperscharter/> Liberty who have said it will effectively “all but end online privacy.”
