The bill will force internet companies to store their users’ browsing data for a year, and will allow the government to force phone makers to hack into people’s handsets

Supporters of the Bill claimed that it is needed to keep us, the country and the national infrastructure safe. By hoarding more of our information in vast databases and weakening encryption it risks doing the exact opposite.

Caleb Chen, a spokesman for Private Internet Access, said: "The legislation specifically mentions connection service providers and not just ISPs, and the assumption is that VPNs based in the UK will have to give up their logs under this law."

"But as a US-based company, my legal team has advised me that we would not be under any obligation to do so. And even if the government were to try to take it a step further and say no UK citizen could use a VPN that was not compliant with the law, those services would still be available."

so ISPs cannot cash in

still this is good news
