And so it has come to pass:


'Snoopers' charter' petition hits signatures target

Meanwhile regardless:

Snoopers' Charter: 'Draconian' IP Bill receives royal assent to become law
http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2478633/snoopers-charter-draconian-ip-bill-receives-royal-assent-to-become-law


'Snooper's charter' bill becomes law, extending UK state surveillance
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/nov/29/snoopers-charter-bill-becomes-law-extending-uk-state-surveillance


Apt comments are:

"48 organisations and departments that will be able to access the
browsing records of individuals without a warrant."

"hello [George Orwell] 1984"

"The chairman of the Internet Service Providers' Association (Ispa),
told the BBC last week that he was concerned such a database would
eventually be hacked. "You can try every conceivable thing in the
entire world to [protect it], but somebody will still outsmart you,"
he said. "Mistakes will happen. It's a question of when."

"incredibly intrusive"

"But we will always argue that you don't pass laws based on what the
government of today intends to do with those powers, but on how a very
different government of tomorrow might use those same powers to go so
much further."


And yet further already:

UK's new Snoopers' Charter just passed an encryption backdoor law by
the backdoor

Phew!

How did this come to pass...?
