Sorry for the single source, google is pretty drowned with the 2009 version.
Anyway, thoughts? No contents, just the who, when & where. Quite how they'll track that without intercepting the contents is beyond me.

I expect the 'nothing to fear' folks along in 5...4...3...
Surely the problem they'll have is gaining anything useful from the information. There'll simply be too much of it. Imagine if some poor sap was reading every mention of bomb, "nuke it from orbit" "off with his head" or anything else potentially suspect on Pistonheads. Then multiply by all the other sites out there.
Stupid, bloated government scheme that will never work and unnecessarily compromise people's privacy.

Is the idea to mine the data so that if someone has e.g.
1) Been to a religious fundamentalist web site
2) On a different occasion visited a site to teach chemistry
3) Sent an email to someone else who has visited a web site about electronics
this would allocate someone a high risk score and the authorities could keep an eye on them.

Pretty much I think.1) Been to a religious fundamentalist web site
2) On a different occasion visited a site to teach chemistry
3) Sent an email to someone else who has visited a web site about electronics

Of course anyone with half a brain will get round it anyway.
These things, I believe, tend to be driven by the civil "service", rather than politos (see also ID cards), which is why they keep resurfacing time after time.
