Then let me help resolve that dilemma if I may presume. The RIPA Act was billed as something vital for security and many (verbal not legal) assurances were given that despite the broad slew of powers granted, it would only be used where necessary. Within a year, local councils were using it to monitor the movements of people accused of not having scooped up dog****.
Power will always be abused where it is not constrained. That is the nature of power. The purpose of our intelligence services and police is to preserve the status quo. Often that is against external threats like terrorism, but it applies equally to internal threats from protestors against wars to people who pose a political threat to incumbent parties. (MI5 even infiltrated people into the Green Party and if you think they're a credible threat you've plainly never been canvassed by them).
I think Cassette Boy said it best:

Awful.
As above, all my traffic will soon be routed through a VPN.

I wonder if stuff like this helps with seeing what is happening on the Dark Web?
Something people need to remember
74,000,000,000,000 e-mails were sent in 2015
To read every single e-mail you would need to read:
2,346,524 per second every second for 365 days of the year.
No human is looking at your data, it searches for key word combinations and traffic from known terrorist or severe criminal sources.
We need to have these measures in place to ensure personal safety, the internet is a wonderful creation but it MUST be handled carefully.
We had 200,000 years as modern humans to develop complex social structures and rules.. The internet has been around in its current form for a few decades..
People will be reluctant to hand over freedoms but they must to ensure security.

what on earth do you do on the internet that you need to keep private?
I hate comments like this.. Belittle somebodies rational argument with absolutely no rebuttal..
Politician confirmed.
I just refuse to give credence to fallacies, and i believe everybody has an obligation to provide facts to educate people on their viewpoints if they are being illogical.
Yeah but it's a lot more fun and easier to simply call someone wrong and stick your fingers in your ears going naaanaaaanaaaa which is exactly what's happening here. It's fun. We're fun. Welcome to the fun. We're having fun.
Despicable.
Little in practice.
The only people who are going to suffer are ordinary day folk when their data inevitably gets leaked. This will do nothing to combat crime or terrorism.
This sort of surveillance would have made the Stasi wet.
