Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else

As I understand it, they'll know you went to google but will not know what you searched for without a specific warrant.

(or looking at the next domain name you went to)

I can't see how they'd ever get to a place where mine was needed useful or relevant, so am not worrying about it.

If it's important to you...hack next door's wifi. Instant anonymity...

Highly unlikely that any retrospective law would brought in where people's search history turns them into a criminal!

I think there's a greater risk of the stored data being accessed by people that might want to blackmail, like the Ashly Madison case or perhaps TalkTalk.

Even if the legislation is passed, it doesn't mean that anyone will be checking everyone's internet history. It means that everyone's history will be stored so that "in the event of a crime" any person's history could be checked.....

Whilst I have nothing to hide I don't like it. Its a slippery slope. For example it starts off with checking the Internet history of citizens and then keeps going further and further. Reading emails, texts etc and before you know it we'll have no privacy left.

I doubt it'll even do that. Once it's law they'll know they're being watched so will find other ways to plot and communicate.

These laws could land me in a spot of bother... even if it is just from arranging a peaceful protest or a counter demonstration to muppets like 'Britain First'.

Do I want them to have that power against terrorists? Yes.

But I feel exactly the same way about guns, should be used for shooting terrorists, but hopefully not for shooting me.

Oh I see, so you're contention is that laws shouldn't be changed, we shouldn't advance our society because "they'll find a way around it"...I put stronger locks on my windows and doors to keep the bad guys out - was that a mistake, because they'll just find another way in?

It is mainly for terror and child protection. They need a court issued warrant first and my understanding is that only sites visited for the reasons of the warrant issue can be prosecuted. Eg if a suspected terrorist was illegally downloading music he couldn't be prosecuted if they had a warrant to search for sites related to terrorism

It isn't 'terrorism' though, its extremism.

They will abuse these powers just as they abuse all of the other powers they have.

One minute you could be at a rally about anti austerity, the next you could be huckled into the back of a police van for terror offences.

You might think I'm being a bit stupid or a bit dramatic... but i can guarantee you that we're fast becoming north korea.

. How about if one does a potential search on a potential employee and they turn out to be a drug dealer or money launderer ..The police might assume that you are involved just by doing the search . We have a lot to fear if the powers are misused . There are many situations where innocent people could lose their livelihood if the powers are not carefully controlled ..

"Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say" - Edward Snowden

Also - the argument that its about tracking down terrorists and other evil-doers doesn't really hold water. Encrypting your internet communications is a trivial affair and you can bet your backside the serious villians are already doing it.

I'd be willing to bet that these measures are less about catching criminals and more about controlling what information the general populace has access to.

Ho will the power to retieve everybody's internet history make a difference?

If their is intelligence on you then your internet is alreadt been monitored. If their;s no intelligence it won;t prevent anything and the laws are already their to recover the browsing history retrospectively.

Nothing to hide? Stefan Kiszko was tried and convicted - wrongly - of the murder of a young girl. One of the key pieces of "evidence" against him was that he had some soft core porn magazines. That was used in court to portray him as a sex crazed maniac. Imagine how an internet history showing many visits to fab and viewing hard core porn videos would have been used against him

Ultimately it is not only those who do wrong who need to be worried but those who might be suspected of doing wrong - and none of us can be safe from that

Personally I think it's a very worrying move

You just don't get it, do you?

If the government can make you afraid enough that you believe you're in more danger than usual, then society will become more submissive and easier to control... they will take your freedom and convince you it is for your own benefit.

Im more worried about IS getting the materials for a dirty bomb off some despot or debunked Russian state to worry about `Big Brother`

Society has changed that much and social media with it that the police,MI5 etc need every tool available if they are to do a decent job.

It is pointless as it is incredibly easy to hide the briefing history from everyone. I also note most people have no clue of the darker sides of the web and the anonymity offered there for all manner of things which is worrying.

Download torbrowser and your internet history will be safe with a few precautions. With a few more you will be completely safe regardless of whether you are buying drugs or watching videos of kiddy fiddling.

The point is that this is so easy to get round that anyone who would actually have a browsing history that would be interesting to the police would make said history disappear.

They actually have agreements with other nations to snoop on british citizens - rather than do it themselves. They snoop on other nations and swap info. They can get hold of every text and every phone conversation as well as emails, searches and where iphones are at any point in time ...

If you have nothing to hide, then don't bother to draw the curtains before playing. Hmmm.... Whilst what we are here for may seem perfectly innocent, the computers scanning the stored communications (including our voice packets) could pick out destinations that might be considered anti-social. Malicious governments or their agents could clamp down on these, or if those sites were overseas, implement the Great British Firewall. And don't think for a moment VLAN or The Onion Ring would get around surveillance.

To paraphrase the US National Rifle Association on guns:-

Its not computers that kill, its people that kill.

I don't recall so much fear when the IRA were bombing our cities, (just missed the Baltic Exchange bomb by 30 minutes) but then there wasn't the internet.

Wouldn't help

The legislation requires that your complete internet history is logged by your ISP - private browsing keeps your records off your computer, but they wouldn't be going to check your computer's history.

Consider for a moment the idea that TalkTalk, who can't secure their data against bored teenagers, would be required to keep a complete log of every customer's complete browsing history (even from private browsing), just in case the police get a warrant for the full-data version (no warrant needed for the site-only version). Do you feel TalkTalk could secure that data? You might feel you have nothing to hide from the police, but do you want every bored teen in the country passing your complete online profile around?

Police and the security services have been checking internet/phone records and calls for a very long time and to think otherwise is very naïve. Its one way that they can stay ahead the game. Cyber terrorism is a real threat to both personal and national security and if you have nothing to hide other than sexual adventures and personal kinks then it shouldn't be a problem. I hardly think they would be interested in your sex lives but it something that the wrong people could use as a tool to blackmail or for extortion.

Although we like to keep this secret from our close friends and like many on here wouldn't want it to be common knowledge. Its something we don't fear.

So as for the police checking phone record etc then let them carry on for the greater good of the nation. They do a great job and without them this country would be in a worst state than it already is.

The nothing to hide people don't quite grasp the whole invasion of privacy thing.

If you have nothing to hide then I suggest you put your facial pictures and home address for all of us to see

Also more seriously perhaps through a misunderstanding you are accused of something you never did, then your browsing history could be used against you, if at first only to garner info of your lifestyle.

That only covers the device your on,

When you connect to a website , you send a name , which is transferred into a number like a telephone number , by your ISp domain name server .

This is the information that they are requesting the ISp keep .

Loads of ways round it . I have already discovered that hacking a van is one way , using someone else's broadband is another way

Free wifi on a tablet bought in a car boot sale the list is endless, and those criminals that use the Internet for shady dealings , will get round it

GCHQ and Interpol and even the yanks can't even decode what's app messages . Or Apple anything

What they are actually after is all the encryption data owing to the is ( bloody terrorists) using what's app for some bombing campaign

The next step will be censorship or not allowing pay sites that don't pay UK tax

Or you're missing the point. The security services have been doing this for a long time but without judicial oversight so dodgy things have been happening.

This new legislation is proposing to tighten the oversight of the access so that they have to explain and justify all access. No longer possible to have a home secretary decide she wants to see something without a panel of judges agreeing.

Preventing bored teenagers accessing third party information and blackmailing people is a separate issue of improving company's security, though their illegal activity would be easier to detect and prosecute using this proposed legislation

The idea of all this started/was promoted by so called 'terrorist attacks'

The security services needed to monitor internet chat ( so they say )

Terrorists aren't stupid...

If I wished to pass on a message to someone then I'd pass them the user name and email address send just use the draft box.

Nothing is ever passed on electronically and this method is undetectable.

We have lost our privacy laws, not cause we have something to hide or not as the case may be but either way, this country has gone to the dogs because of all this.

The IRA managed to hold out for 25 years in a time before all the electronic equipment we now have. Do you honestly believe the security of this country is anywhere safer ?, if so then be prepared for a few shocks.

but everyone is allowed to have their point of view ,,,,, those comparing us now to being like a state like North Korea ,,, yeah right ,,,, havent recently seen someone marched out onto our streets and bullet put through his head because he has failed to fulfill his job criteria .

I would also love to know if a lot of this is political ,,,, is it because it is tory goverment legislation and therefore terrible ?

But wether this is right or wrong you will have to have some change in law to try and keep up with the train journey that we are on with social media ,,,,,look how far we have come in 10 years , I myself now have friends all around the world ,,,, twenty years ago i knew someone 15 miles down the road and that was about it and if i wanted to get in touch with them it might take me a couple of days if I happened to miss them when they came in from work and they then buggered of out for a pint

LOL Just because we don't publically execute people anymore that doesn't mean that the powers at be are any less draconian than other world dictatorships.

I recently read a paper on psychological manipulation, and when you look at some of the methodology, you begin to realise just how manipulative the government, or should I say the whitehall mandarins really are.

It makes fascinating reading. Especially how the use of fear is used to maintain control.

You can either take someone and shoot them in public, or you can use terrorist acts, public propaganda through state owned broadcasting companies, aka the BBC. And introduce laws designed to control everything that the public do.

Funny how we still so happily do business with countries which have atrocious human rights records. And yet condemn those of the same vane but are shown to be our enemies.

Even the Human rights act is condemned for favouring criminals, in order for the government to win favour for getting rid of it. News Flash, most of the human rights act is based on British principles. And there is a clause that says it cannot override a criminal act in favour of an individuals human rights for that of a countries own laws.

Hell, you can't even protest now days without the police using kettling tactics to incite disorder, and portray the crowed as being riotous thugs.

Oh, no - we do not live in a democracy by any means. It is a dictatorship, you just don't know it.

""Nothing to hide, nothing to worry about."

Attitudes like that towards government are exactly what is wrong with the country.

If you allow the government to do as they please then they will do as they please.

Finally someone gets it! "

(m) here - Just reading a msg and thought would look at Forums. I am in Italy and here the laws do not protect you in any way or manner; if a judge finds that you are involved in anything related to crime all your media accounts are open to view.

Germany has had this law since 1998 and they store data for 5 years.

In France by law all data has to be stored for 3 years and has to be transferred upon request of the police.

Switzerland was storing data on people in the 60's all foreign born nationals had a file (being Swiss British my file was 14 pages and when received 13 pages were blacked)

Labour got rid of freedom of speach in the 90's and what now is happening is a knee jerk reaction to the modern world and how communication happens.. But do you all honestly believe that your internet accounts are of interest to police and others? The answer is no as there is one simple factor to all of this "Money"...

To store, sort and make a decision on data costs money - mega bucks not £2.42 ... so even if the new laws to be state that data is to be stored for 1 year that does not mean in anyway or manner that some one will be looking at your data.

The people who it concerns have already vanished into the BlackNet or use untraceable cellphones...

"What does everyone think about new government rules saying everyones internet can be checked and everysite you have visited???

TOTAL BIG BROTHER GONE MAD

I agree with what they doing, if stops sick twats downloading under age porn, or those into beastality etc, they rock on, let them check.

If not breaking any law got bugger all to worry about, big brother been around decades

How do you think the police become aware of people downloading illegal porn at the moment?"

How many downloading illegal porn are arrested?

How many of sick twats on here that message asking for beastality are arrested?

How many of sick twats on here that see a profile say single mum, and start asking for mother and daughter sex are arrested?

if law comes in force that all internet is tracks, not just people they are after, then yes more sick twats might just get taken off the streets

We are at war with Eurasia. We have always been at wR with Eurasia.

People of Oceania, you are being duped. The party doesn't serve the people, it serves itself.

Hysterical? I don't think so.

I'm not doing anything wrong so I have no problem with them checking my internet history

In fact I think it is a good idea if it prevents some crime happening

Anyway from what I hear they won't be able to read messages just know what sites they've visited. So they'll know they visited fab but not what they've said so I'm not sure how that will help with the examples given.

hi, collecting meta data has been going on for years , the main programs used today are "tempora " stellarwind and stringray for phone location. as most if not all servers are outside the uk borders, the uk gov can collect / read all data returning to uk . but the amount is huge on a good day around two terabits per second , looking for a needle in a hay stack springs to mind, so dont worry to much unless you use skype for sex.. connie x (ex spy..lol)

If they can check on people when will it stop? I mean imagine 5+ years along applying for a loan and the bank say sorry mr & Mrs smith we can see from your internet history your both swingers and therefore are at risk of catching a sti no loan! Or millions of 15 year old boys getting arrested because their girl friend sent a text saying about how great it was having sex or sending a photo to him.

The government have been on it for years, that's how they get the suspect pedo rings, that's how Pete Townsend got caught.

Anyone who's in the "nothing to hide, nothing to fear" camp, please watch Glenn Greenwald's TED talk on why privacy matters.

It's 15 minutes out of your life - and may just give you some other points to consider.

"Don't care, I ain't done anything wrong. My internet history is about as exciting as dishwater. If they want an easy way to sleep then they can go for it"

You're assuming you know what they are looking for.

What maybe totally legal and aboveboard today may well be illegal tomorrow.

I love people's response "I have nothing to hide", that is irrelevant, it's your own personal privacy. Which is being invaded by the Government to stop the "terrorists" that they have created and are funding. Perhaps they should check the history of the CIA and then they might stop dropping weapons and funding to ISIS.

Don't sign away your freedom's people, we already on our way to Orwells 1984.
