A positive thing is that with so much centralized internet (facebook, twitter, etc), rather than isolated websites, there's not much they'll be able to read from it just by the domain. Are you on the facebook terrorist group or the nanna's group? Everyone will look the same to them.

This data is likely to reveal: - if you are suffering from any illnesses (HIV, cancer) - your sexual orientation - your religion Within months, ISPs or govt agencies will be hacked and 3rd parties will have access to this information. The implications are horrifying. EDIT: Also, I suspect the data will be URLs, rather than just domain names, so they will be able to tell a lot from facebook etc. EDIT2: Actually, apparently it will be just IP addresses and domain names (not full URLs): https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/504192/Operational_Case_for_the_Retention_of_Internet_Connection_Records_-_IP_Bill_introduction.pdf https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachm...
