Hello

Does this act allow the agencies such as the DWP to compromise the individuals ability to research a given topic by now being able to trace their web access history? For example a topic on this site.

Only a senior fraud investigator with a warrant can access the information so this information will not be looked at for assessments.

The only way to avoid the issue is not to use the internet, running Virtual Private Network software may also help.
