Industry body techUK<\/a>, which represents many of the UK’s key technology companies, and a broad range of stakeholders have today issued a joint statement that expresses concern about proposed changes under the Investigatory Powers (Amendment) Bill, not least their potential impact upon internet security and privacy.<\/p>\n

The original 2016 Investigatory Powers Act<\/a> (IPAct) introduced, among many other things, a new power that forced broadband ISPs and mobile operators \u2013 upon being ordered to do so by a senior judge \u2013 into logging the Internet Connection Records<\/strong> (ICR) of all their customers for up to 12 months (e.g. the IP<\/a> addresses of the servers you\u2019ve visited and when), which can be accessed without a full warrant and may occur regardless of whether or not you\u2019re suspected of a crime.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Obtaining the \u2018content\u2019 of a communication (i.e. the message you write) still required a warrant, but ICRs aren\u2019t deemed to contain \u2018content\u2019.<\/div>\n

However, at the end of last year the government warned that the \u201cnature of the threats we face<\/em>\u201d had evolved since 2016 and as part of that they proposed to update the UK\u2019s investigatory powers’ framework (here<\/a>). The goal, they said, would be to enable the UK’s security and law enforcement agencies to stay up-to-date with new technologies.<\/p>\n

On the one hand, the amendments included some good proposals to “strengthen independent judicial oversight<\/em>“, while also putting a number of the Investigatory Powers Commissioner’s (IPC) functions on a statutory basis. But on the other hand, they also vaguely proposed to update the conditions for use of ICRs and to change the bulk personal dataset regime to ensure the UK\u2019s intelligence agencies “can more effectively make use of less sensitive data<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

At present there’s still a lack of deeper detail about the changes. Nevertheless, techUK has today joined with various civil society organisations, academics and other think tanks to stress – via a Joint Statement<\/a><\/strong> – their “grave concerns about the Investigatory Powers (Amendment) Bill, and the limited opportunities for its scrutiny<\/em>.” The statement sets out several key concerns.<\/p>\n

techUK’s Concerns – Investigatory Powers (Amendment) Bill<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a4 Weakened safeguards when intelligence services collect bulk datasets of personal information, potentially enabling the harvesting of millions of facial images and social media data;<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Expressly permitting the harvesting and processing of internet connection records for generalised, mass surveillance;<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Expanding the range of politicians who can authorise the surveillance of parliamentarians;<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Impeding companies\u2019 ability to innovate and advance the data protection, data security, and data minimisation efforts expected by users, governments and regulators globally;<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Severely restricting the use of security enhancing technologies, resulting in the increased government intrusion of citizen confidentiality and privacy \u2013 a basic human right;<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Opening the door for indiscriminate, arbitrary interference with users who are not the targets, via the introduction of systemic vulnerabilities that would pose security and privacy risks;<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Making the UK the weak link in the chain of online security, with the UK-developed products and services becoming less appealing, because adopters will fear that they have been designed for Government access, and the UK will become a more appealing target for criminals and hostile nation states;<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Exacerbating and\/or creating new conflicts of laws including with the vast body of digital regulation that has been introduced around the world since 2016, without clear mitigation plans. The UK would likely take issue with other countries passing similar laws that would influence the security of products that are used globally.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The statement also claims that the Government’s Impact Assessment has “failed to produce solid conclusions about the purported costs and benefits of the Bill<\/em>“. This is said to raise questions about transparency and the evaluation process itself, which means Stakeholders are “left unable to effectively assess the overall impact of the legislation, in turn weakening accountability and oversight in the legislative process<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Getting the original bill through parliament was a long and complex process, which also faced a number of legal challenges and amendments even after it became law. Updating the rules should be an easier task for the government than it was the first time, although clearly there are still significant concerns about the current direction of travel.<\/p>\n
