A new monitoring method in the UK "Investigatory Powers Bill" will pass through the Senate and will be enacted as a law within 2016. The survey authority bill is the ultimate monitoring method that Internet-related companies oblige users to store web browsing data for one year, and companies disclose it according to law enforcement agencies' request.

A survey authority bill (so-called Snooper's Charter) keeps data related to the internet such as Internet service providers, cellular phone operators, communication application development companies and others related to the Internet for one year, and the police And law enforcement agencies such as information agencies are able to access the recorded data.

Included in the ICRs are all kinds of web browsing data on Internet connection, such as internet protocol, port address, IP address, access date and time. Until now, a warrant was necessary for companies to disclose web browsing data to law enforcement agencies, but after the promulgation of the survey authority bill, it is not necessary to submit a warrant.


According to the British government, Internet related companies have no obligation to preserve ICRs, so police and intelligence agencies can not collect enough information at the time of investigation. However, if the survey authority bill is officially issued, police and information agencies can access the data stored by the company and use it for investigation.

However, if the budget authority bill is briefly mentioned, it means "the government can monitor what the citizens are doing on the Internet," and it is true that there is a criticism voice. Mr. Julien Huper, a liberal politician, is ringing a horn that "people should worry."


Some say criticism saying "You can avoid using the Tor browser".


A survey authority bill is one in which Dr. Terrisa Mei, the current prime minister, published a draft in the era of the Interior Minister. When the bill was announced in the Diet in December 2015, it cited repeated hacking attacks against the UK as one reason why the bill was necessary. However, Economic magazine Forbes says, "Businesses can not trust simply that they manage data safely," the company saves Web browsing dataDanger pointed outdoing.

It is a survey authority bill that is discussing in various places, but if Queen Elizabeth signs it will be promulgated within 2016.
