UK revives legislation-every email and website to be stored

That will allow the security and police authorities to track every phone call, email, text message and website visit made by the public if they argue it is needed to tackle crime or terrorism.

The information will include who is contacting whom, when and where and which websites are visited, but not the content of the conversations or messages.

This would seem to have more potential for abuse than actual use, I can on guess the primary intent is as a deterrent. Of course the the people they're intending to deter will either ignore it or work around them.
