Terrifying that the UK's Terrorism Act of 2006 can be used to prevent research and publishing of information. I hope that parliament reconsiders the implications of this act and I hope that the US doesn't look to this as an example. :/

The U.S. most certainly will. In testimony before the Congress, the FBI Director James Comey indicated that the U.K. is in some ways ahead of the U.S. He was referring to the banning of end-to-end encryption and key disclosure laws, which it seems that he wishes were the law of the land within the United States as well.
