The Investigatory Powers Bill forces internet providers to keep a full record of every site visited by each of its customers for over a year. Of course, government accounts are exempt from this Orwellian law.
This bill is not simply about notifying the government if a specific site has been visited, it is about listing every single site that has been visited by each citizen and when. This information will be made available to a very large range of government bodies. Of course, there’s the police, the military and the secret service but also others entities such as the Food Standards Agency and the Department for Work and Pensions.
Here’s a full list of the agencies allowed to search the browsing history of UK citizens.

Let’s face it, this law is custom made to create a climate of fear and paranoia in the UK. Studies have shown that government surveillance stops people from sharing controversial opinions online as it has a ‘chilling effect on democratic discourse’. Also, since people sometimes visit explicit websites and tend to google their most personal issues, they could easily be subjected to blackmail or other nefarious actions.
Will government officials be subjected to the same transparency? Nope. In fact, the only amendment politicians have submitted to the controversial bill is to stop MPs from being spied on.

This is pure sickness, 1984 level garbage. And the worst part is that the people are too asleep and uncaring to fight it. They accept anything the dominator system coordinators do while condemning their peers who might reject such ludicrous laws. Majority rules, and the majority is stupid. Too wrapped up in their egos to raise their consciousness.
Am in tears that the globalists have allowed this to happen in a democratic country what else is left what nimrod tried to accomplish os being tried but because Jesus defeated the devil we will all overcome via psalms 91
Remember, the shrouded-in-secrecy and up-to-no-good Facebook rocket exploded spectacularly at the time of its launch, for reasons unknown. Nothing is decided, no matter what they think
i hope your invisible friend comes soon.
Israel is bck in themiddle east and you ant have Armageddon, the battle at meggido valley and many other prophecies in Revelations cannot happen without them being there so yes Jesus Christ who was seen in the past and will be seen by the whole world , coming back to show himself as real.
Of course dont be fooled by the Anti Christ also.
Im really amazed how the whole world is so blind when it comes to Israel.
There have been many antichrists. It isn’t a singular character that opposes jesus. The whole Christian world should know this and realize that should a man stand above the crowd it’s more than likely a leader and not someone that would be an antichrist. With this way of thinking Jesus himself would be considered the antichrist by those that don’t know and simply believe.
Its not either/or. There will be an AntiChrist as referred to in the Bible and there are many antiChrists, also referred to in the Bible. Islam views the second coming of Christ as the AntiChrist and the announcement of the AntiChrist as their Mahdi
yes believing some old book written by old demented men will defo help please go and grab it !
Well, I guess during the school years you’ve read a whole bunch of books written by men… and you believe them. You believe in science… which is also created and often written by men. What is the problem then? You are accusing people of being stupid only because they believe in the book “that is written by man”? Okay, people like you believe in any sh*t that begin with words “scientists recently discovered..”, are you any better?
Actually people did fight it many times over.
The Government was too deadset to be stopped.
It may come down to revolution to stop this Law.
That’s not the right angle to look at it from. The people are awake. It’s just that the “people” are divided amongst the rulers and the ruled and the rest of society (the vast majority) are immigrants with no loyalty to the nation or those attempting to settle and colonize. That’s why they love multicultural cities. It makes it easy for the government to crush its own citizens.
Let’s face it, government agencies have had access to our browsing history for years. This official change in legislation, like VC said, is purely to create a climate of fear and paranoia. Privacy is a thing of the past in this Orwellian world we live in
Exactly. It’s very naive if you think they weren’t already spying on everything you do. This is simply the so called ‘externalization of hierarchy’ where they are making still more open and revealing what they’ve already been doing for years.
The externalization of hierarchy means a materialization of the mysteries. Hence all the crazy s**t. It has nothing to do with politics and enslavement. It’s about learning through experimentation. The issue is they are using our lives to learn from and improve their own.
By selectively choosing particular searches/pages visited, it would be incredibly easy to make almost anyone look like a terrible person…very dangerous.
Americans arent exempted
They are already doing this in the US and other countries it’s just not known to the public. They monitor what sites, videos you watch on YT, etc. and you are put into a database. Hence the censorship of truth we are witnessing. It’s a precursor to complete 100% control of the internet and flow of information.
Is this part of what happens when you hand over your firearms? You’ve got nothing to storm the castle with except your feelings of personal I vasion. Nice. I’ve been off facebook for over a year, but I visit sites like this. I buy books that my library doesn’t have. This is so very alarming. I suppose they’ll sell this as something for “our health and safety?” Such dookie. Thanks for posting VC!
Millions of well-armed people in the U.S.A. are well-aware of how FEDGOV intrudes and have done nothing much to stop it. My big question: Well Donald Trump retrieve control of internet backbone Obama turned over to ICCAN? I certainly hope so.
The novel ” 1984 ” has been surpassed.
It’s a Brave New post-1984 World…
As was expected, because in my opinion in The Netherlands the film was really rather boycotted by little press although it was a classic still read at all schools, and the eurythmics were big. They got attention for delivering the score late, but the film itself got snowed under season greetings – and probably a madonna-media-action, too? A case of divide and conquer from witin the producers and their tentacles?
And meanwhile back on the farm….apparently the FBI is not even investigating the child p*******e rings via
Pizza Gate.
And of course, the p*******e scandals in England, keep hitting “walls”. This is communism people, plain and simple.
Communism? Are you kidding? All nations are doing it, spying on homeground. As in right now. (Would you call Australia communist, for example, or New York, Utah, France?)
They’re not supposed to be communistic, but if it starts strutting like a duck and dictating like a duck… it’s a commie duck. And the worst thing about communism is its ability to exalt itself above God, viewing anyone who Believes and puts God first in their lives as enemies of the state. This might sound glorious to nonbelievers, but eventually they, too, will be found in violation for something. There will come a time when you won’t be able to do anything because of too many laws and regulations; almost impossible not to break a law. Global engineering!
If it looks like a duck, it might wear a duck’s costume. Ever been told the fairytale of some young goats and a wolff that whitened his paw…? Well?
Now what, feeling deceived by your own mental shortcuts?
Do Australians do the following things: pay income tax, pay inheritance tax, pay property tax? If yes, then yes Australia is a communist country. It’s not easy to see the bars on the cage, but they do exist.
Bring back the days of pens and paper, of voices that spoke directly to each other rather then via a screen.
Nothing new here. It always was intercepted and analyzed, is my guess. The news is that governments are opening up on their games against citizens. That has the function of spreading a new layer of fear ..or maybe even better in this context : resignation. And their we have our winner. Lazy people who do not give a sjait that they are under a microscope their whole lives. And directed. (!) One generation to go maybe and it is a whole new world we live in. Present tense that is. That last expression got a double layer..
Genuinely gutted by this. Pretty disheartening stuff.
How long will it be now before visiting sites like this is regarded as ‘thought crime’ in one guise or another?
As another commentor said, Orwell’s 1984 has been surpassed.
But who knew we’d go into it so willingly? We check in our every movement on Facebook, our every thought on Twitter, and our every desire can be discerned from our Google search history. We were pretty f***ing stupid when you think about it.
Food for thought..
(Surprised to see only 29 comments so far on this article that was posted more than 23 hrs ago.. Does this prove that we are too placid already and we refuse to see the direction all this is going in..- sweeping it under the carpet..?! )
I know. The lack of interest in this significant development is depressing.
Not everyone uses facebook, twitter, and google. Don’t be so naive to assume all people are idiots. It is mainly the young brainwashed of the new generation who enable those dumb websites yo prosper.
Facebook is over, thankfully, along with MSM. It’s the best thing to have happened – cultural irrelevance, out of their control. Instagram is next to cave in.
I think I laughed when it said that government accounts were excluded. Shouldn’t they be the first accounts to be screened for their internet histories?
What will happen to me when the US government does (or continues to?) do this and sees all of the hits Vigilant Citizen receives from my IP address? Hahahaha. But seriously… this is awful. Nosiness is the worst and this is spying and invasion of privacy on a major level. *sigh*
Don’t ever stop expressing yourself over worry of personal safety. Your honor is worth far more than your life.
Do what I do: Talk to everybody about this. Put it all over your social media channels.
Never bow down to the NWO! Never give up, never surrender!
And that is why you are anonymous?
Flipping LOLOLOLOL
They already know everything about this site I agree with the poster wHo said this site will soon be destroyed and taken down by the thought polic it’s only a matter of time.
Privacy is an illusion.
So let’s see everything about your life, even the things you would rather not share. It’s only an illusion when it doesn’t concern you, you hypocrite. Everyone has the innate desire to be left alone to live without interference from government or anyone else.
Yeah in a city.
Why does the NHS need to see peoples search history?
Lisa, because they/health-services/first-aid have a administrative connection with the insurers. The insurers want to know if you felt ill before you got insurered for example. Google or your providor can tell them if you looked up any itchings or remedies. The result may be you not getting insurance or pay-out. And via direct linking and datamining, they can know within minutes, so you might not even get any help AT ALL when you become really sick.
but we have free health care here, the NHS..
Enjoy it while it last.
I think this is an excellent development and I appreciate this new piece of well thought out legislation. I think we should try to see just how Orwellian we can possibly get. There should be a ‘Brave New World’-named contest held between nations to see who can come the closest to Orwell’s beautiful utopian vision.
I also believe all citizens should applaud this Orwellian paradise. We need informer networks and spying on neighbors to catch all those dangerous crisis actors and their deadly terrorist attacks – the more draconian the measures, the better!
TRUST IN GOVERNMENT GOD. WORSHIP CONSUME OBEY
How else will the U.K. defeat Eastasia? or is it Eurasia? or al Qaeda? or ISIL? or…………
Internet History tracking? Just a tiny part of the antichrist “all seeing eye” surveillance system spreading its tentacles according to some weirdos wearing tin foil hats. Nothing to see here, move along.
Please review HBO’s Westworld. Last Sunday’s episode: Jeffrey Wright (Bernard Lowe) says “A little trauma can be illuminating” and keeps reading Alice in Wonderland as part of his reverie (memory) Anthony Hopkins (Ford) says ..they’re free, under my control…and has Lowe kill the actual human female whose job was to protect the interests of the Board (intellectual property).
Hipkins/Ford says in order to establish order it must require a blood sacrifice.
How long until a similar law is passed in the states? My guess is not long at all.
this is like the trolltrace plot in this season of South Park… like it is literally the exact same… wtf is that predictive programming??
Southparks been spot on for a few years now, “I just need to look into your a*****e” tsa
Despicable. Wish we could all unite to complain and disprove until we win this war on privacy.
I didn’t realise the list was going to be as long as that…..
Well, now they have full access to people brains as to what they think.
The Internet is not expansive enough to illustrate what I think about.
This is how it all begins, the beginning of the end. Now that they got everyone hooked up on the internet and have all the info of the Entire Globe on it, they will make everyone transparent. Well “everyone”.. Just the ones they desire… Oh and we all know there beautiful desires…
These new laws being passed globally allowing governments to spy on their own people via the Internet are just ex post facto permission for what they’ve been doing since the inception of the Internet. The Internet wasn’t created to help people. It was created for the government to be able to control us.
You need to ween yourself off the grid and unplug yourself from the Matrix. Wake up and see what is going on.
Buy books, read them, talk with your friends, and be defiant till the end…..
This already exists in America, it’s called the Patriot Act and was passed in 2011. I am surprised this did not start in the UK first to be honest.
Is the Patriot Act really like this bill?
What in the world would most of those agencies and companies – NEED access to who your frickin’ e-mailing ?
I don’t understand at all. In fact – what in the world do our orangutans and our ‘protectors’ even ……wait ….
Wait —
Is the UK thing — Web Searches —-Or emails turned in?
I’m confused.sorry.
With a little mediashowbiz about semantics, it will be passed during footballseason in its intirety, and announced after some Shooting Somewhere is my idea. That’s at least the way our government announced they spent milions and bilions of public money for a few airplanes and some private banks.
Hopefully this is used against the uk p*******e parliament whenever there is “doubt” about their doings.
Politicians and parliamentarians are – of course – excluded from being under surveillance. This is just for the evil smelling common herd, not for our pure, wise and benevolent overlords.
Ooh sqaurespace I love me some squarespace!
How is this even done if someone used a proxy or an anonymous-friendly search engine like duckduckgo and startpage?
Hi Daniel. StartPage.com private search can be very helpful for protecting your privacy. What you search for on our site is private. StartPage doesn’t track you or log any personal information. In addition, we offer a free proxy with every search result. This means you can visit 3rd party web pages in privacy, as well!
Privacy and secrecy is wanted by the elite first !
With bank secrecy first, allowing to create money for the global control project.
Attacking privacy can be a technique to reinforce it ! (just like false flag operations reinforce governments).
As a software developper, I can tell you that data security is a myth, everything is readable from the beginning !
I see you’ve visited Vigilant Citizen, sorry, we won’t be able to approve your travel visa, purely coincidental
Glad you’re up again.
What to write about these last few days huh?
Best of luck, wisdom, AND freedom.
Use TORnet to browse the net that should stop them from spying on you.
Tornet and the black net etc… are there for a reason. Probably a red flag straight away
The only reason I can think of to why –
To record for a year and turn the results in —
Is for advertising research??
But my God- who the heck would record a whole country’s entire population? No.
Its absurd.
Everything is an ad these days
Stop Mass Hacking. The FBI is trying to take people’s rights away with Rule 41.
“Advanced beings that came from other planets”?? I think you have watched too much sci fi without doing any real research.
South Park was right!
No way, just like in SouthPark?! I thought they were just making up a scenario, silly me…
Going incognito mode 24/7
Wait until the UK gets their commonwealth slaves to follow suit. It’s time the Anglo empire comes crashing down. What with their greenwich mean time and puritanism. Enough is enough.
Turn off your internet history.
Your mom would be suprised to see you don’t have urges, your government wishes to know which, how often and with what toys, ordered via amazon or a concurrent.
What are you all doing on your internet that you are scared of the government to take a peak ? PS facebook been reading your browser history for years and giving back door keys to government agencies, nothing new here
Some excellent points made here.
And yet with each day we are closer to death being spied for n or not , stop your fear mongering, sociopaths like Hitler are going to do sociopathic things regardless of wether they spy on you or not, I wish life had no grey areas like you make it sound
If Hitler would have had the tools back than which are available and in place today you probably wouldn’t even have a possibility to express your opinions and views on this subject. And a sociopath can always do more harm with a machine gun than with a knife, don’t you agree? So does your argument mean that we should be indifferent towards sociopaths upgrading their weaponry of choice with machine guns?
Don’t forget that those grey areas you are mentioning used to be white in the past and will become black at a drop of a hat. And it is not you or me who are going to make that decision. But go on shoot the messenger if it makes you feel better.
You aren’t reading effectively, otherwise you wouldn’t be writing this nonsense. The ones who are spying on you, or the ones at the top of the hierarchy employing them, are psychopathic, insane, criminal control freaks whose goal is world domination. It is not fear-mongering, it is an accurate statement.
This post reminds me of the ‘Well I’ve got nothing to hide’ attitude which has enabled the gradual loss of personal freedoms.
The fact this is being done out in the open is an enormous loss.
It’s a loss because this parliamentary act is a hop skip and a jump from use of search history against you for whatever reason. To ‘prove’ in court that you’re a criminal, a terrorist, an unfit parent. Take your pick.
And when terrorists strike, you are all the first to cry why weren’t they being watched, but you just going to tell me the government is funding terrorists, so it’s pointless.
@TrumpClinton: I would tell you: ‘Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.’
Benjamin Franklin
The terrorists ARE THE GOVERNMENT, you fool. The shadow government funds terrorism, and terror hoaxes and phony drills using actors, all over the world. WAKE UP.
Are you saying that this ethically correct for them to do this? What the hell is wrong with you? Are you that brainwashed and dumbed down that you think that it is perfectly alright for them to do this? Or are you a paid government shill, troll, or disinfo agent?
Peodophiles, criminals and terrorist should be scared about this, if you are a law abiding citizen no need to be alarmed I am sure the government will let you watch your Netflix in peace.
Sure, it´s always a fantastic idea to put the foxes in charge of the henhouse, isn´t it?
Yes, assuming you are smart enough to put on your fox suit when needed to.
Or smart enough to have a goodlooking but little dumb moviestar or popsinger (both male or female are fine, but undecided looks better sometimes) take a pose next to you on a red carpet for lots of photographs for lots of frontpages and sidebars.
Disinfo much?
PS: I forgot to add, I’m NOT advocating tax fraud…but the end doesn’t justify the means.
No, you aren’t sure. The P********s, criminals, and terrorists are IN THE GOVERNMENT, you fool. WAKE UP.
They had a huge hack. Give them time to get back up and running. Also, pizza related material is no longer here too 🙁
I was wondering what happened too…
Hey VC you need to do a report about the independent inquiry into child abuse in the UK – there’s something very wrong with this inquiry as it seems the establishment is obviously trying to PREVENT/COVER UP of the truth regards the large scale Paedophile ring!!
