<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The '''Domestic Counter-Terrorism Act''' is an emergency public surveillance law approved by [[Federal Congress]] on March 30, 3307. The brainchild of Vice President [[Jerome Archer]], the law was part of the [[Federation]]'s response to the devastating [[Nine Martyrs]] attack of March 11, 3307, and was intended to prevent future terrorist attacks by allowing the Federal government to be more proactive in identifying terrorist agents and sympathisers. As emergency legislation, the Domestic Counter-Terrorism Act replaced all previous Federal laws regarding monitoring civilian activity and intercepting personal communications, including relevant statutes of the [[Federal Accord]].<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/606311954f9eda52a923b05e GalNet: Federal Congress Grants Emergency Surveillance Powers]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6082b5788356ff306b71a5b2 GalNet: Winters Claims Civilian Surveillance is Illegal]</ref><br />

The passage of the act resulted in the [[Federal Intelligence Agency]] creating the controversial [[Proactive Detection Bureau]], which was given far-reaching authority to monitor public and private comms networks across the Federation for criminal activity. Some Federal citizens criticised the PDB as an unconstitutional invasion of their right to personal privacy, and the dispute over the legality and ethics of the PDB directly precipitated the [[Federal Rebellion of 3307]].<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/606c4bee6ac730131e7bf110 GalNet: Federation Begins Anti-Terrorist Monitoring]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60f82834f353e248204f2416 GalNet: Federation Threatened by Further Secession]</ref><ref name="Fractured Federation">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61238c446c1de668d3390170 GalNet: A Fractured Federation]</ref> [[Shadow President]] [[Felicia Winters]] repeatedly called for the act to be repealed, but to no avail.<ref name="Fractured Federation" /><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/613f3d4bc31cf61ae31cda95 GalNet: Rebellion Spreads Through the Federation]</ref><br />
