The UK will [ require a court order to get journalists' phone records ]( http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/oct/12/police-ripa-powers-journalists-surveillance ) . That is a small step in the right direction. I have to ask, however, who this will apply to. On the internet, anyone can be a journalist. In addition, journalists reporting on ticklish issues such as government snooping must arrange to communicate with their sources in a way that can't be tracked.
