Britain has enacted a new mass surveillance law that continues to draw criticism from privacy advocates. The Investigatory Powers Act 2016 was passed by Parliament and signed into law by the Queen this week. The new law enshrines the government’s right to “bulk data collection” despite the EU’s high court ruling that such untargeted collection violates human rights. The inventor of the world wide web, Tim Berners-Lee, has slammed the new law, calling it a “security nightmare” A Parliament petition calling for the law to be repealed now has more than 140,000 signatures.”]
