From the piece: Local authorities are to be given the power to access all the details of everyone’s personal text messages, emails, phone calls, and internet use under Home Office proposals published yesterday. Ministers want to make it mandatory for telephone and internet companies to keep details of all personal internet traffic for at least 12 months so it can be accessed for investigations into crime or other threats to public safety.
