Something like that won't get through willy nilly, it's even harder to enforce...
Is there even a white paper for this yet? I won't write to anyone until I've read more than a paragraph about it...
At least 5 paragraphs.

Yes it will. It's got a depressingly large amount of support. At the current rate, it'll be law before the election is called - in just a couple of weeks.
Hard to enforce fairly, yes. But dangerously easy to invoke the restrictions of, and a very sharp, slippery slope to total monitoring.

This is the same one that makes it legal for Magazines and publication to use pictures of the net and social networking without credits etc but makes it illegal to photograph in public place due to privacy?
That's very simplified version.
Not certain about the print publications thing, but I expect so.
Photographs are already effectively illegal under counter-terrorism measures.

I'll find the article about it.

Hmmm, I'll read into it, but if it's as grave as it sounds I think I'll be signing my name to something.
