The petition already has a response from government
> The Investigatory Powers Act dramatically increases transparency around the use of investigatory powers. It protects both privacy and security and underwent unprecedented scrutiny before becoming law.
- phreack 10y agoBasically they were already doing it, and it was becoming a concern that it was illegal, so they retroactively fixed that pesky law, as stopping was never an option.
