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.

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.

'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. '
