> require communication service providers (CSPs) to retain UK internet users' "Internet connection records" – which websites were visited but not the particular pages and not the full browsing history – for one year
In what world is a serial list of IP connections that a customer made not a "browsing history"?
- Symbiote 10y agoPresumably, it's not required to record "particular pages" because - It sounds reassuring - It's not possible to record, for instance when someone accesses secure sites (the majority of time and pages) - It's not necessary, since the a server's logs can easily be cross-referenced to the TCP connection logs - It's not necessary, since plenty of insight results from knowing who, when, how much, for how long and how often everyone communicates with everyone else.
