I was more addressing the filtering from the Digital Economy Act , which will be trivial to bypass . If you ' re querying Google DNS and using TLS though , the ISP will struggle to actually log your browsing since the traffic will be encrypted , so they ' re logging at most domains rather than pages . And for domains you don ' t want logged . people have been using Tor and VPN since Snowden or earlier . The thing is , ISPs have always collected this data for internal purposes . The difference is now that there ' s a set retention period , and a new framework for LEOexternal organisations to access it . But it was always being logged , whether for measuring data caps , internal usageengineering purposes , etc . The increased availability is fucking creepy . Orwell is turning in his grave . But if you ' re that concerned about your privacy , you should already have been using a VPN , because Snowden already blew the lid on mass interception . The upside of this is increased awareness of digital privacy , security , VPNs , etc . People who get paranoid about government intrusion will end up protecting themselves against nongovernmental badactors . Which is good .
