"viewing material likely to be of help to a terrorist" - seriously?

That would apply to a guide on how to browse the web and use Google, wouldn't it?

That's why overly broad laws are a terrible idea.

This and it's ilk are basically "because we don't like your face" catch-all's.

Sadly the UK is good at those to whit - The Anti-Social Behaviour Order (defunct but lastesd from 98 to 2015) which made previously criminal behavior a civil matter.

We are a curiously illiberal liberal democracy.

Or a gym training plan, since terrorists don't want to be overweight!
