BBC to Spy on Internet Users Watching BBC Without Paying TV Licence Fee

August 5th, 2016

Via: Mirror:

The BBC is to spy on internet users in their homes – and sniff out those watching iPlayer without paying the TV Licence fee.

The Beeb is set to employ Wi-Fi detection vans to prosecute people illegally watching its programmes online.

From September the broadcaster will use information from private Wi-Fi networks in homes.

The corporation has been given the right to use the new technology – normally used by police and security services.
