Earlier today we wrote about how the UK‘s High Court determined that the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers (DRIP) Act that passed a year ago, allowing the government wide leverage to get access to citizens‘ private data, was a violation of privacy, because it did not have necessary limitations. The rule is still allowed to be used for the next nine months while the court asks Parliament to fix the law (or for the government to appeal the ruling, which it‘s doing). Cue frantic bogus FUD from the press stenographers in the UK. The Telegraph‘s „Security Editor“ posted a story with this ridiculous (and wrong) headline: „Thousands of lives at risk after High Court rules snooping powers unlawful.“
