Just don't like the fact companies like BT get their paws on your information

Ever googled something personal?
Who you text, email or call. Your social media activity. Which websites you visit.
Who you bank with. Where your kids go to school. Your sexual preferences, health worries, religious and political beliefs.
Since November, the Snoopers’ Charter – the Investigatory Powers Act – has let the Government access all this intimate information, building up an incredibly detailed picture of you, your family and friends, your hobbies and habits – your entire life.
And it won’t just be accessed by the Home Secretary. Dozens of agencies – the Department for Work and Pensions, HMRC and 46 others – can now see sensitive details of your personal life.
Over 200,000 people signed a petition to stop the Snoopers’ Charter, the Government didn’t listen so we’re taking them to court and we need your help.
There’s no opt-out and you don’t need to be suspected of anything. It will just happen all the time, to every one of us.
The Investigatory Powers Act lets Government keep records of and monitor your private emails, texts and phone calls – that’s where you are, who you speak to, what you say – and all without any suspicion of wrongdoing.
It forces internet companies like Sky, BT and TalkTalk to log every website you visit or app you have used, creating a vast database of deeply sensitive and revealing information. At a time when companies and governments are under increasingly frequent attack from hackers, this will create a goldmine for criminals and foreign spies.

I have nothing to hide anyway.
I got nothing to hide either.....
Mr and Mrs r in 1....2.....3....
99.99999% of people in the UK don't either.
The government doesn't have a god given right to intrude peoples private lives.
It is worrying how easily people give up all freedom they have due to fear.
You put a huge amount of faith in the law and government. What about them makes you think they'll act in your interests?.

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Yet the majority of the country seem happy to give up a huge chunk of their freedom for what is essentially no gain.
You may have nothing to hide now but who knows what changes will be made to the law in the next few years.

And so it begins
Do you think terrorists just use a normal broadband provider and internet explorer? Any one intent on causing destruction who's clever enough to actually be dangerous will be using TOR or another such system.
This won't reveal anything about people like that.
Also it's been 12 years since the last major terorrist plot happened in this country, is it worth giving up a civil liberty for something which either isn't as big a threat as the media wants you to think or is already being handled by our security services without the need to look at what sites I've been visiting and what emails I've been sending?

Thanks for doing your patriotic duty. Looks like you've earned your liberty for another day.
Ensure you are ready for tomorrow's spot check, citizen.

You're giving up the freedom to privacy and it isn't just about this anyway if civil liberties are being eroded so easily who knows what next.
What's to stop anyone who's an annoyance to the government, any opposition or protester having their internet history used to slander them?
I'd never have thought reading 1984 that it was going to be so accurate nor did I think people would be happy to accept it based on fear mongering by the media.
