Venues that provide WiFi are responsible for this under the Data Protection
act, European Directive for Data Retention Regulations 2009, the
Code of Practice (Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001), Regulation of
Investigatory Powers Act 2000 and Digital Economy Act 2010.
When somebody supplies a WiFi hotspot, these legal requirements must be
complied with, such as holding data and logging all URLs visited.
Only if they've been instructed to do that. Otherwise any such
responsibility is with the upstream (who may or may not have been so
instructed also).
