Nobody can convince me that by the time it gets through parliament something with this name won’t turn into a [generalised TCN to gag nerd speech about cryptography and security](https://privacyinternational.org/long-read/5547/our-challenge-against-uks-secret-tcn-powers ):
> The King’s Speech briefing notes also referenced proposed “Cyber Crime Risk Orders” and […] could give authorities powers to impose restrictions on individuals considered to pose an ongoing cyber threat, reflecting a wider shift among governments toward preventive disruption measures rather than relying solely on criminal prosecutions after attacks occur.
