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. '
