The Investigatory Powers Bill

In mid November 2016 the UK Parliament passed the Investigatory Powers Bill (the Bill) which has already been called the "Snooper's Charter". The above-mentioned Bill expands the authorities of the British security services and police force to track, trace and hack communications made through the Internet, telephone and messaging services. The Bill introduces the following features:

1. HACKING. For the first time, security services will be able to hack into computers, networks, mobile devices, servers and more under the proposed plans. This could include downloading data from a mobile phone that is stolen or left unattended, or installing software that tracks every keyboard letter pressed on a laptop.
