The U.K. government will introduce anti-terrorism legislation this week requiring Internet companies to provide user data to authorities.
The bill, to be published on Nov. 26 and fast-tracked through Parliament so it becomes law before the general election in May, will also restrict the movement of people wanting to travel abroad to fight for extremist organizations and stop insurers providing cover for terrorist ransoms, Home Secretary Theresa May said in a speech in London today.
