Also for data retention they are not allowed to ask BT to snoop AAISP traffic (but they might ask BT anyway).

This means that instead of having to snoop individual ISPs, UK.gov only need to bother with BT, TT etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-23852606002871295082017-05-05T21:13:48.958+01:002017-05-05T21:13:48.958+01:00The open rights group have the paper up here:

Presumably some peering is done via said tunnels at LINX and non-UK companies - or even at AMS-IX where UK law doesn't apply. Access to the tunnel at source (in the UK) would seem to be the intent here?<br /><br />I suspect (as is sadly now normal) El Reg has gone for a clickbait article rather than a more nuanced article as in days of old :)<br /><br />When VPNs on mobile networks get blocked is the time to worry. Mobile networks in the UK are the "canary in the coalmine" as bad stuff invariably happens there first.<br /><br />What happens after May "gets her mandate" and we're away from the ECJ is another matter. I doubt it'll be good given a recent YouGov poll was asking this in Tory areas of the UK last week:<br /><br />https://wingsoverscotland.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/ygf.jpg<br /><br />and this :<br /><br />https://wingsoverscotland.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_9099.jpg<br /><br />Scary that polls are being commissioned to ask this. Scarier still that the MSM don't call them out on it anymore.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
