Regulation of Investigatory Powers
In this computer science video lesson you will learn about the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (also known as RIPA) and the Investigatory Powers Act 2016. These two British laws were enacted to enable public authorities to carry out covert surveillance of the public. The Investigatory Powers Act updated RIPA and established some controls over the ways these powers could be exercised, including the formation of the Investigatory Powers Commission (IPC). This video explains what is meant by covert surveillance and explains which public authorities have the power to do it. It also mentions how the Investigatory Power’s Act 2016 became British law in the wake of revelations by Edward Snowden that the USA’s National Security Agency (NSA) was conducting covert surveillance, in cooperation with a number of European Governments, on a global scale. The Investigatory Powers Act therefore became known as the Snooper’s Charter by various human rights groups.

I don't believe it! I watched this, this morning. And the beautiful, funny graphics helped me remember basically the whole video - meaning I absolutely beasted the last question of A level Computer Science Paper 1! Thanks so much mate!

That's great to hear. I had a feeling paper 1 would include this. Good luck with paper 2. :)KD
What do regulations mean when we all know that the regulator's are completely corrupt. There is no fixing this any longer.

There is always hope. Sooner or later, the sleazy politicians will shoot themselves in the foot. People need to take an interest and go out and vote.

The intelligence services are already abusing the rules and regulations, they have(MI5) direct access to the BT main frames and I can't imagine they have warrants to 65m+ people(established a requirement for a judge serving on the IPC to review warrants for accessing the content of communications and equipment interference authorised by a Secretary of State before they come into force). This mainly seems around online/digital communications, internet records but also a new criminal offence for unlawfully accessing internet data Then you have the 1942 Secrets of information act which doesn't allow the intelligence services to use residential, commercial & government for spying without warrants. So any information/evidence they gained in these environments would be obsolete.

I'm afraid to say, we just have to live with it; even if we're 'off-grid' :)KD
That's the thing - ever smaller cameras can be hidden almost anywhere - how long, if not already before we have flying drones with cameras the size of gnats! That's when we're screwed lol! Thank you for an informative video!

This government is thick. Any would be terrorists or otherwise can simply download open source alternatives and use that. Even if they try and block that it is so easy to get around with VPN's.
