Encyrption ban banished from draft UK surveillance bill

Home Secretary Theresa May introduces draft bill on surveillance powers in the U.K. She says it will not include powers to force companies to capture and retain third-party Internet traffic from companies based overseas. But she does want police and the security and intelligence services to have the right to track Internet communications in the same way they do phone calls. Police will be allowed to determine whether someone has visited a particular IP address — which will allow them in many cases to determine which website they visited. The main opposition party, Labour, has already welcomed Wednesday’s proposals.”]
