Thanks for that link - only 35k signatures so far. People are sleepwalking into 1984.

  It'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.

  Nobody wants to sign the list of "People whose internet history we should look at first"

    Might 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.

      Welcome to the Panoptican crossed with a somewhat gilded cage.

  This 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.
