The government responded to that petition:

The Act does three key things. First, fuck you.

Second, we don't give a fuck about what you peasants do.

Third, we give a fuck about what you think so fuck you.

They have also passed another that exempts the politicians from said spying powers.

Of course. The only part of the law that might have been beneficial.

The elite are scared.

That's outrageous! But not surprising. At least they're being open now that they live by their own laws. This bill is dangerous.

As the bill was passing through Parliament, several organizations noted their alarm at section 217 which obliged ISPs, telcos and other communications providers to let the government know in advance of any new products and services being deployed and allow the government to demand "technical" changes to software and systems.

Edit: That quote isn't from OP link, but from this one

We never see the benefits of said spying. The arrogance is perfuse, "we need these powers because fuck you." Not once do they demonstrate how it keeps people safe.

They feel like the era of working in the shadows is over. They feel that either the populace isn't going to try to do anything or they know about the movements taking place and they are trying to cut corners and accelerate their end game.

Investigatory Powers Bill officially passes into law, giving Britain the 'most extreme spying powers ever seen' | The Independent

'The Investigatory Powers Act has now been given royal assent, meaning that those surveillance rules will pass into law. '

' The campaign for a surveillance law fit for the digital age continues, and must now move to the courts.”'

'Not all of the powers available in the Bill will be rolled out straight away. '

'It adds new surveillance powers including rules that force internet providers to keep complete records of every website that all of their customers visit. '

'But others replace the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act 2014, also known as Dripa, which is set to expire on 31 December and so urgently needed updating with the new bill. '

This has been an automated message.

This Government is clear that, at a time of heightened security threat, it is essential our law enforcement, security and intelligence services have the powers they need to keep people safe.

Unless it's from muslims of course.
