From the «congratulations, bitch» department: Title: Theresa May Named UK's Internet Villain of the Year Author: help@slashdot.org Date: Sun, 05 Jul 2015 03:24:00 -0400 Link: http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/Qhdhv4mLgRk/theresa-may-named-uks-internet-villain-of-the-year An anonymous reader writes with news that Theresa May, the UK's Secretary of State for the Home Department, has been named the UK internet industry's villain of the year. She won this dubious honor for pushing the UK's controversial "snooper's charter" legislation, which would require ISPs to retain massive amounts of data regarding their subscribers for no less than a year. May championed the legislation without consulting the internet industry. Conversely, "The MPs Tom Watson and David Davis were jointly named internet hero for their legal action against the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act. 'Surveillance has dominated both the hero and villain shortlists for number of years, and it was felt Davis and Watson were some of the best informed politicians on the subject,' the ISPA said."
