How many of us know about the DA Notice (formerly D Notice)?
DA-Notices (for "Defence Advisory" Notices) are issued by the Defence, Press and Broadcasting Advisory Committee as a means of providing official guidance on those areas of national security which the UK Government considers it has a duty to protect. The Notices are widely distributed to editors, producers and publishers and also to officials in Government departments, military commanders, chief constables and some institutions. The Notices have no legal standing and advice offered within their framework may be accepted or rejected partly or wholly.
Now it is called DA Notice. The Gov website is here if you want to have a look at it:

When you read that it looks good to have something like that to stop terrorists etc getting an upper hand. But when read this website you can see there is a darker side to it.
