Warning to UK Users - Emergency Mass Surveillance Laws

Just a warning to those who don't follow the media in the UK.

The UK government is due to pass an emergency law which will require all phone and internet companies to store phone calls, text logs and internet use. It is only going to be in effect until 2016 apparently but I think it would be wise to take extra precautions when using DNM's to avoid any potential problems with LE.

for shame, even though I'm not in the UK I'm still upset about this.

What's the reason for it? What emergency are they using to facilitate this law?

How will this affect UK users then? will vendors start logging and submitting all sales information from their darknet market stores? really?

EDIT: If i am missing something don't just downvote me, educate my dumb ass
