UK government to install ISP black boxes to spy on all users
As part of the Home Office‘s communications data bill, internet service providers (ISPs) and mobile phone companies will be obliged to collect communications records and keep them for a year.
The government has insisted that the actual content of messages won’t be stored, but until now it has not been clear how communications companies will be able to separate content from “header data”, such as the sender and recipient of a message, and the date it was sent.
It’s not just internet they will be recording, but all phone and mobile details too.
