Revoke the governments authority to spy on the entire UK Population
The Investigatory Powers Bill should be used to investigate criminals & not to monitor the entire UK population. The collection of this data and the techniques used to gain it leaves UK citizens & businesses open to being exploited by criminals (who will use other technologies to avoid detection)
In light of recent events, I believe that this is an irresponsible act on the governments behalf. Service Providers have already shown that they are unable to protect the data they currently hold on their customers. This bill increases the amount of personal data that they hold without taking the security of that data in to consideration. Examples of this are Talk Talk, Yahoo & Sony. The UK should be focusing on improving individuals online security not introducing measure to exploit it.
