Regulation of Investigatory Act
Gives certain bodies the right to monitor communications and internet activity.
The act grants the right to:
- Demand ISPs provide access to a customers surveillance.
- Allow, mass surveillance of communication.
- Demand ISPs fit equipment to facilitate surveillance.
- Demand access to be granted to protected information.
- To allow monitoring of an individuals internet activities.
- Prevent existence of such interception activities being revealed in court.
Controversial as you can see how the act could be misused. For example: it was once used by a school to see if a family lived in the catchment area (they tracked there internet usage).
