For some time now, we‘ve been covering the UK‘s plan — led by Home Secretary Theresa May — to pass a new Snooper‘s Charter that would increase surveillance powers greatly in the UK. There‘s been a growing amount of criticism of the plan in the UK, so rather than respond to it, May has simply moved to fast track the bill, officially called the Investigatory Powers Bill. The bill will officially be „published“ today on March 1, and then will likely be voted on before the end of April.
