Good web site this, well worth exploring the other parts, quite
comprehensive with a time line...which needs bringing up to date.
For update on latest drafts, reports, moves and changes by the UK
government on its surveillance legislation. Apparently, the peoples
privacy is catered for by inserting the word "privacy" into the
legislation at one point. Changes have yet to be made regarding mass
surveillance due to European Human Rights cases in Hungary and Russia,
making it illegal. Russia, a signatory to human rights has ignored it
and created its own legislation. The problem for the UK is that if the
government here ignores it, there will be challenges occurring all the
time from various individuals and lobby groupings in the human rights
and civil liberties field. In its present form...it won't overcome the
ECHR provisions.
