内容説明
This consultation considers the collection and use of 'communications data', an important technical capability that is used to protect the public against terrorism, serious crime, illegal drugs and to protect the vulnerable in society. This capability is declining, however, in the face of the rapidly changing communications industry. Communications data is information about a communication and does not include the content of such communications. The police, Serious Organized Crime Agency, HM Revenue & Customs and the intelligence services (and other public authorities in limited areas) can acquire communications data from communications service providers. Communications data is used extensively as evidence in courts. Access to this data is strictly controlled, as the right to privacy must be maintained. Technical changes in the communications industry means companies will offer more communications services, for voice, data and media, including: TV; social networking; music; video messaging; games; text; email; and internet browsing.
These changes will impact on the current capability of access and use of communications data so action must be taken to maintain the existing capability. The Government does not plan for a centralized database for storing all communications data. Instead legislation will ensure that the data required is collected and retained by the communications service providers, including data from UK communications service providers and additional data relating to services provided from overseas providers (third party data). Responsibility for collecting third party data would fall on those communications providers, such as the fixed line, mobile and WiFi operators who own the network infrastructure. The problem of fragmentation would hinder investigating authorities though, so a further step requiring service providers to process the third party data and match it with their own business data where it has elements in common is proposed.
