  1. Security minister Tom Tugendhat: “These changes mean that not only will our citizens be better protected from serious dangers such as terrorism and child sexual abuse online – their privacy will be better protected too.”

    Thank you Tom for better protecting my privacy by invading my privacy more 👍

  2. England prevails.

    Anyone else a little fed up with this dystopian hellscape we’re creating here?

  3. Excellent changes, with these new powers they can recoup all those missing funds from fraudulent means during Covid!!

  4. Negativity always negativity it makes this sub happy it’s the only good thing

  5. Anyone mind explaining what’s changed or what the new situation will be, for those of us who are less technologically or legally literate?

    I had a quick look online but there’s very little info that’s actually been dumbed down for a layperson that doesn’t want to spend hours scrolling through pdfs on Hansard.

    All I could reasonably understand was that it’s now easier for the govt to collect “public” data on individuals where “public” data is stuff where you don’t have an expectation to privacy like CCTV recordings and social media postings.

    What else has changed?
