No one talks about it in the UK. The news is silence and the majority don't care. Sad really.

I live in the UK but it's the first I've heard about this lovely piece of lawmaking. I knew about the snoopers charter but not this bit! I fear you're right though, the MSM won't report on this just like they haven't reported on the TPP etc.
