British Investigatory Powers Act

The British Investigatory Powers Act, also known as the "Snooper's Charter," is a law that allows UK authorities to monitor and access digital communications, such as internet activity, phone calls, and emails, to combat crime and terrorism. It sets rules for when and how intelligence agencies and law enforcement can collect data, including requiring court approval for certain surveillance activities. While intended to enhance security, it also raises concerns about privacy and civil liberties, balancing national security with individual rights.
