Just publish some really divisive fake news about Brexit and that'll rack up the UK hits on Facebook.

Christ, it's even worse than I thought.

But I am going to try a few PoC ones later today. (On a private network, using all domains and computers I control.)

I... View a lot of use of digital records as the witchtrials of the modern era (eg, cases where people got charged for child porn because a coworker used their machine, but the logs say it was them!). The conclusions don't logically hold up, but reveal something about our reverance for technology (and assuming it worked right).

How did we get here? Many folks have surfed the web for 20 years, even more for 15, most for 10 --- now in 2016, surprise surprise, fake news abound! /s Almost as if coinciding with the calls for (or introductions of) related legislation..

We are talking about blatant spam sites in which the owners openly admitted to making up stories out of whole cloth.

If they aren't recording the pages, I'd doubt they've be recording the ads embedded on the page.

But who knows, I imagine it's down to how the ISPs implement the legislation.

They'll just know that you visited the host.

I imagine that MITM on a large scale is par for the course for GCHQ.

That's pretty clear. It does depend of what level/technology is used in the Encryption, but broadly, against nation state actors with full virtual and physical hardware access, you are to put it bluntly, stuffed.

So theoretically if you transfer data from insert bad orgs IP address here from within another innocent website you'd be logged for that.
