We investigated the Investigatory Powers Bill. Yes, it is much worse than it sounds. The UK is in deep trouble:

We decided to do a deeper analysis of this law, since it potentially impacts a large number of ProtonMail users. According to our 2016 Encrypted Email User Survey, the UK accounts for the third largest group of ProtonMail users after the US and Russia. It came as a surprise to us that the law passed with such little fanfare, so we feel it is necessary to draw attention to what is quite possibly the worst surveillance law to have been passed so far in a Western democracy.

This applies to UK only atm.

If I lived in the Uk I would use a VPN for my daily browsing habits.

Tor and bridges for my tor habits.
