Big brothers big brother will be watching you.

The control freaks that are the government just get worse and worse.

As mentioned in the article, its the mission creep thats worrying. That and the fact that relatively low ranking local Government officers can authorise retrieval of your files. Scary.

Can you imagine the sheer amount of data that will be pouring in? They might have all this info but it will be billions of messages and links and numbers every single day, day after day.








Did you notice the Ukranian hotties on the left...?

Isn't this what all the ISPs said was unworkable, I doubt it'll come to anything.

Surely people can have some fun with this? Set up massive "drug deals" and shipments of "guns" etc and see if the 5-0 show up.

Hmm. So the government is going to find lots of visits to offshore secure proxy servers. Somone somewhere needs to explain to the government that whilst what they want to do is technically feasible in practice it will not work as people like me will go down the proxy route so some government muppet can't analyze what sites I choose to visit and who I choose to email.

A private non commerical one Pretty much all the free or commercial ones are very slow in my experience.

Not really an issue tbh, Government f up so many large IT projects (scary and worth a thread itself), a lot (ie most under 30 who aren't that sharp) of people are uploading every piece of information about themselves to a system that can easily be accsessed and manipulated by anyone: Facebook

We need a new Government!

Still as someone has said you could have some sport with this,
send an email with a list of random numbers and see who can decodde it LOL

Send a message with words like Bomb, Allah etc and listen for the helicopters over your house.

Note to self. Must not go to porn sites!

"...Every phone call, text message, email and website visit made by private citizens is to be stored for a year and will be available for monitoring by government bodies..."

That's the socialists for you. Just think about it when next you cast your vote...
