State to 'spy' on every phone call, email and web search.

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.

They are going to Luuuuuuuvvvvvvv me.

It might become a bit harder to do it once SSL becomes default connection type.

Confused by this. Sure I saw a headline this morning stating that that project had been kicked into touch for the time being.

No doubt however that it is coming eventually... unless we make it otherwise.

This is what happens when the government no longer consider themselves servants of the public and the government fears the populous.

The development for this is well underway.

We should organise a Europe wide ´send a lot of emails day´. If the state are looking for a needle in a haystack, why not make the haystack bigger?

Yes, and add the following footer to all of them;

I am not and have never been a terrorist. I don't like bombs and would never build one. I don't like guns that much either. I also disapprove of Al Qaeda. Please direct your terrorist efforts to something more meaningful than blanket monitoring of the population.


That should bring the number of false positives up considerably...
