My Way News - UK deputy leader: Surveillance bill won't happen
My Way News reports: "A mass Internet monitoring program touted by Britain's government as a terror-fighting tool is unworkable, the country's deputy leader said Thursday, vowing that it would not become law. [...] The proposal would have forced communications service providers to retain for a year a huge amount of personal data - including a record of websites visited, emails sent and Skype calls made - and make it available to law enforcement and other government agencies at the stroke of a key. Authorities would need a warrant to see the content of calls, emails and other communications."
