Watchdog says UK needs new surveillance laws June 11, 2015 - 15:28 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Britain's terror legislation watchdog says the country needs a new law on monitoring online communications, arguing a fresh approach is necessary to address the concerns of both law enforcement and privacy advocates, according to the Associated Press. The independent reviewer of terror legislation, David Anderson, on Thursday, Jun 11, proposed a new blueprint for surveillance laws, saying that the existing framework satisfies neither security services nor privacy activists. The landmark 300-page report argues that a comprehensive and comprehensible law is needed to replace a multitude of current powers. Anderson concludes existing laws have not kept pace with technology and are confusing. Among Anderson's suggestions is the creation of a new intelligence auditor to oversee novel, contentious and sensitive requests for interception of communications. The government ordered the review as part of legislation fast-tracked through parliament last year.
