A group of ten academics has penned a letter to David Cameron warning that the controversial Communications Data Bill is „naïve and technically dangerous“. The letter comes the same week privacy groups have banded together to accuse the UK‘s major ISPs of colluding with the government on the „snooper‘s charter“, to the detriment of its customers‘ rights and privacy. Both letters were published online on 22 April, two weeks before the amended bill — which states that British telecoms and ISPs keep customer communications and web activity on file for a year for police, the chief complaint of both the academics and privacy groups — is expected to be presented in the Queen‘s Speech, on 8 May.
