UK: Email and web use 'to be monitored' under new laws.
April 2, 2012 at 5:15 am
This was announced yesterday, and I originally thought it was an April Fool since the "new law" was going to be announced by the Queen (who doesn't get to decide new laws). Unfortunately, it seems that the BBC weren't kidding around; the Queen is going to announce a new law, and it's confusing exactly which members of parliament are behind it. In any case, if passed, it will effectively turn the UK into China / North Korea in terms of surveillance. This is an attack on our civil liberties, and nobody seems to know which members of parliament are involved (just those who are against it).
