  1. >concerns over proposals to to intercept or infiltrate “people’s internet of things, which could technically include a person’s smart watch and home devices like smart speakers (such as an Amazon Echo or Google Nest) and doorbells”.

    Bad enough they want backdoors into anything encrypted, including chat apps, VPNS, etc. But to let them have access to speakers/mics in your own home?

    Remember that any backdoor for policing reasons, is a backdoor that criminals can use too.

  2. This is replacing the 1993 Act, which was written before the internet was really a thing and covers such critical topics as telegrams. The ones without a capital ‘T’.
