Surveillance in the United Kingdom

As of March 2019, there is no firm date for the implementation of this policy, which has been halted by many technical problems. A news report described implementation of the scheme as being "in a holding pattern".

The Terrorism Act 2000 makes it illegal to contain information or to access information likely to be of use to a terrorist.

For the most part, the United Kingdom censors illegal or potentially harmful content, like terrorist propaganda or child pornography. Access to torrent sites is also restricted, even if torrenting in and of itself is not illegal.
