UK government sneaks citizen database aka ‘request filters’ into proposed internet super-spy law
‘A secret database of citizens’ personal lives and habits isn’t explicitly spelled out in the UK’s latest surveillance law. No, instead, it’s described as a set of “request filters.”
The term is buried in the draft Investigatory Powers Bill (IPB), which was introduced to Parliament on Wednesday. Turn to page 254 of the 299-page document [PDF], and you’ll find it under “Clause 51: Filtering arrangements for obtaining data.”
Such arrangements, the proposed law states, will be implemented by the Secretary of State, and no mention is made of any judicial oversight.’
