live" surveillance of British web users
All in a bid to keep us safe though eh!
I haven't read the full story but from what I've glimpsed it seems that it has to be authorised in the same way as phone tapping, i.e. if someone is suspected of a crime serious enough, their web use will be monitored.
Perhaps we should bring back the old manual exchanges where the operators knew just about everything about the subscribers. 
I think they just want to see what faces people pull when they're, er, "pulling on themselves"... 
More like 'big brother live from the house' in reverse.
It had to come I suppose and whilst my age makes me less bothered personally, I do fear for future generations where they'll all be able to spy on each other in real time over the internet.
Makes a change from spying on each other in real time through net curtains I suppose 
Good idea, how about extending that to general access to the community.
Lets all have ID cards and they can do away with all those surveillance cameras currently estimated to be around five million. Add to those private security camera and dash cams and that figure would easily double.
On-line privacy has been had been a dead duck for years and one we killed ourselves by downloading those update apps which we accept alongside permission to access our contacts, our location, device ID and other mysterious information few of us are even remotely sure about.
