[perpass] Fwd: [dns-privacy] We'll have stakeholders in Great Britain...

(moving a thread from Stephane on dns-privacy here to perpass)

I wanted to highlight for perpass the draft UK Bill [1] that dropped yesterday.

It includes the following language in Section 71(9) that ISPs, on
notice, will need to retain the following for one year (and, yes, some
of this is completely crazypants and totally unclear how to map these
concepts onto technical concepts):

----

(9) In this Part “relevant communications data” means communications
data which may be used to identify, or assist in identifying, any of
the following—

     (a) the sender or recipient of a communication (whether or not a person),
     (b) the time or duration of a communication,
     (c) the type, method or pattern, or fact, of communication,
     (d) the telecommunication system (or any part of it) from, to or
through which, or by means of which, a communication is or may be
transmitted,
     (e) the location of any such system, or
     (f) the internet protocol address, or other identifier, of any
apparatus to which a communication is transmitted for the purpose of
obtaining access to, or running, a computer file or computer program.

In this subsection “identifier” means an identifier used to facilitate
the transmission of a communication.

----

While the press before had highlighted this bill would require
retaining "web browsing history" it seems both somewhat worse, and
potentially Netflow data for what seems like all an ISPs subscribers.

Wondering if others have thoughts.

best, Joe

The bill will force companies to hold "internet connection records"
for 12 months so they can be requested by authorities.

Such data would consist of a basic domain address,
