UK Gov to snoop on every thing
The UK government, like many around the globe, are waging a war on terror. Apparently... But the innocent victim of this war is freedom. Snip by snip we loose our right to privacy and we are expected to allow this colateral damage because it will help track down terrorists, paedophiles and criminals. What a load of bollox!
The criminal elements and terrorists are going to circumnavigate any legislation and technology designed to catch them. They will use encryption to hide communications and have no fear of the law. Let´s face it, these people blow themselves up for their cause so a couple of years in the clink is nothing.
The only people who will be effected are us. The 99.99999999999999999999% of the worlds population, who are no threat to our neighbours, who will be monitored and logged.
I believe that global terror is a great excuse for taking away just a little more freedom and having more control over the people.
