Internet Black-boxes in the UK
--- Quote from: DailyMail ---The Bill has encountered stiff opposition, but authorities have been at pains to stress that they're not seeking unfettered access to the content of emails or recordings of phone calls. Instead, they claim, what they are after is what many have described as 'outside of the envelope' information: Who sends a message, where and how it is sent, and who receives it. For example, while the email addresses of senders and recipients would be available to agencies, they would still need to obtain a court order for access to the contents of the emails.

Still slightly puzzled as to why this was needed giving that the Patriot Act and CISPA in particular pretty much covered all their respective bases already? Remember that generally speaking, and Executive order is an instruction which bypasses the normal Congressional Legislative process. So what's in this that needed that level of Presidential override?

Executive Order -- Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity
