The British government has instigated a program of monitoring of its peoples internet traffic that will give them unprecidented access to everyones private communications and internet habits.
Whilst the government takes money from its citizens in tax to pay for the project they desperately try to gloss over the real powers they are granting their “officials”.
The “Mastering the Internet” plan allows all IP communications data to be freely gathered and processed without any kind of consent. It also allows interception of communication content as and when they see fit.
So successful are the British government at lying to their citizens that most people arn’t even aware this is happening.
