- vvvv 10y agoThanks for that, signed. It's absolutely terrifying.
- SeanDav 10y agoThanks for that link - only 35k signatures so far. People are sleepwalking into 1984.
- Warp__ 10y agoIt's rising all the time, 36,680 now! I'm not so sure that many portions of this law will stand up to legal scrutiny.
- TheGrumpyBrit 10y agoNobody wants to sign the list of "People whose internet history we should look at first"
- wastedhours 10y agoMight be a flippant comment, but that's the first thing that went through my mind. I've never gone deep into caring much about government overreach, but that was a terrifying subconscious reaction.

- gchadwick 10y agoThis may just be a reflection of the fact that signing petitions (especially online ones) achieves very little. Sure you might get a debate in parliament about it but that debate could involve a handful of MPs and take a few minutes, concluding that everything is fine. This has already been debated extensively in parliament, and got voted through.

- andyjohnson0 10y agoSigned. Currently at 58201 signatures.
