The Draft Communications Data Bill ("Snoopers Charter") creates Orwellian powers  to compel any 'communications service provider' to collect and retain additional information about their users. Current data retention obligations require ISPs to retain data collected for business purposes for longer than normal.

The legislation has deliberately been written so vaguely it can and will, most certainly, be readily abused. By law ISPs would also need to give immediate access and decryption on a person's data on demand and would also allow government to hack into personal devices and personal computers on demand.

 "If you have nothing to fear, you have nothing to hide" is the catch phrase being used to disarm opponents of the draconian bill. The problem with that mindset is what happens when the political winds shift and suddenly a legal, accepted belief, idea, nationality, or religion suddenly becomes illegal.

Human Rights groups, Silicon Tech companies and even representatives of the United Nations vigorously oppose this law. However the United Kingdom is the test bed for global social engineering.  Brittan has become, by design, the most intrusive, invasive, surveillance state on the planet.  What happens in Brittan soon finds it way across the pond in just a few short years.
