UK: Government will spy on every call and e-mail
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...cle4882600.ece
Quote:
Government will spy on every call and e-mail
Ministers are considering spending up to £12 billion on a database to monitor and store the internet browsing habits, e-mail and telephone records of everyone in Britain.
GCHQ, the government’s eavesdropping centre, has already been given up to £1 billion to finance the first stage of the project.
Hundreds of clandestine probes will be installed to monitor customers live on two of the country’s biggest internet and mobile phone providers - thought to be BT and Vodafone. BT has nearly 5m internet customers.
Ministers are braced for a backlash similar to the one caused by their ID cards programme. Dominic Grieve, the shadow home secretary, said: “Any suggestion of the government using existing powers to intercept communications data without public discussion is going to sound extremely sinister.”
Further details of the new plan will be unveiled next month in the Queen’s speech.
The Home Office stressed no formal decision had been taken but sources said officials had made clear that ministers had agreed “in principle” to the programme.
Officials claim live monitoring is necessary to fight terrorism and crime. However, critics question whether such a vast system can be kept secure. A total of 57 billion text messages were sent in the UK last year - 1,800 every second.

You could do more to tackle crime by using the money effectively, not building up a vast system like this.

The motherfucking police state will come under the pretense of terrorism. That doesn't make it excusable or acceptable in the slightest.
Terrorism is a non-threat. People not wearing seatbelts kills more people every year than terrorism, yet we're not cracking down on civil liberties and eroding rights for that.

Smash them.

It's not. It seems that letting your dog defecate somewhere and not picking it up is illegal.

Heart disease kills 6600x more americans each year than terrorism, yet over 500x more government funding goes to the "war on terror"

Yes, yes, he says the dog was only urinating, but they charged him with not picking up its poo.

I sense the british people will rise up and cripple the government soon enough. Unless they are already too far gone to even stand up for themselves......
Your(the british) country is fucked up. Just ban all the muslims and blacks and you will be 100% safe. Now everyone go and get a copy of V for Vendetta and get scheming. Unless they banned that aswell(maybe under the pretense of "video depicting acts of terrorism against the state").
Owell.......everyone stock up on weapons, then do what the IRA tried to do.

WHAT.
FUCK this country.
This comment surprises me no end:
wont this just make terrorists just encrypt emails? I don't get why the goverment wants to spend billions developing this when terrorists can bypass it really easily, surely the government know this? So why are they doing it? monitoring normal civilians?
The reason they are doing this, is nothing to do with terrorism, that is merely the excuse. It is a way to curtail civil liberties and monitor the populace with nary a murmur of protest.
How is it that people can still believe the fiction that this so-called terrorist prevention scheme is anything more than an excersise in social control.
The mind boggles.

The goverment can already do this whenever they want, its just going to be possible on a larger scale. Theyll still need to fill in hundreds of forms and get court orders to monitor anyone. ... I think. Either way I don't see any evidence of "social control". Even if every little chav msn conversation about last nights fight is monitered they won't have the logistics to take action against anyone but srs bsns bad guys.
