my friend james who works at zen Internet says he remembers the original (failed) plan by labor and that zen were really against it but BT were in favor - zen are ISP and were involved in consultation so I assume its ISP who keeps data. Its bizarre!

If it was the ISP doing the data collecion, they would have to hold records of every single webpage ever vistited by all their users - and that still wouldn't include the records of which addresses a user emailed if they used a https webmail server in another country. There would only be a record of visiting that server. This all sounds ever so slightly insane....

We need to look into this as a group though, somehow, this is just... I despair at this!
