The mobile calls, emails and website visits of every person in Britain will be stored for a year under sweeping new powers which come into force on Monday. Privacy campaigners warned last night that the information would be used by the Government to create a giant "Big Brother" super-database containing a map of everyone's private life.


To solve crime to blackmail people the government want to tarnish the reputation of like Pam Warren, blah , blah , to prevent terrorism ,


Internet tracking today , vehicle tracking tommorow, chips implanted at birth 2015, autogun turrets to prevent terrorism and solve crime by 2015.

It's never going to happen. You're scare mongering.

You two were the sort that cried as baby's when you were injected with mercury to keep you well,you forget its all to keep you safe.
Take these talking lampposts for instance-the message is clear-SAFETY-


https://www.tamesideadvertiser.co.uk/...ght_whats_this

TALKING lampposts which dish out a stern telling-off to anyone caught misbehaving have been unveiled as the latest weapon in the war against crime.

The scheme in Stalybridge will soon keep a watchful eye over thousands of young revellers who pour into the town centre every Friday and Saturday night.

Speakers fixed to CCTV cameras will allow operators based at Tameside Council’s control room in Ashton to bellow messages warning trouble-makers they are being watched.

Cabinet deputy Councillor John Taylor admits some may be alarmed by the ‘Big Brother’ tactics but insists most people will have nothing to fear.

"It is a little bit more invasive and I accept the suggestion 100 per cent," he said.

"But in my experience, big brothers are there to look after you and make sure you’re safe.

They have these in Northampton town centre; when I was in town Tuesday there were a number of announcements, telling people that littering is a crime punishable by death and why don't you use one of the town's 150 litter bins, and telling cyclists that "this is a pedestrian zone and cycling is an offence, please dismount".

You can walk from one side of Northampton to the other and never be out of view of CCTV. I understand that people come from all over the world to see the setup. Nice to know my council tax is being well spent, and I'm safe from those pesky cycling litterbugs.

They've been in Coventry for ages. Only really used to stop people from pissing in the street and vandalising. Think i'm OK with that. Besides the smart people piss out of view.

Every email stored.....cant see it i sometimes send emails with over 200mb of files in them each month. So if 2000 people do the same thats 400000mb for a year if 20000 do the same thats 4000000mb if we all did it twice a month ..... well you can see where im heading there wouldnt be the space or the funds to implement it.

Even worse they'd not be able to fit it all onto a memory stick so they can lose it.

It's a rediculous amount of data which they intend to keep and gather. You needn't look any further than China and now Australia to see that these sort of schemes where the government tries to 'get involved' (read: control) the internet only result in significantly slower speeds for everyone, not to mention the obvious problems with privacy.

Is it feasible? Not really, though with enough funding I suppose anything can be feasible. You can guarantee it will be very expensive to set up and maintain. All paid for by the UK taxpayer.

No chance.

I don't care what anyone says, there is simply no way that there's enough storage going round to store even close to that much data.

How anyone who knows the slightest bit about computer storage can write/forward that news story is beyond me!

If they were to store all details of sites visited it would be the biggest porn site database ever Smile

The obligation has been passed onto the ISPs themselves , and also the government will use an awful lot of cash in an attempt to prove you wrong.

Also you forget these are MPs who are imposing such laws , MPs are not economists , engineers , IT technical folks or have any other kind of skills bar parasitism. And thus knowledgable IT folks may well say that it is impossible but their arguements against are ignored , usually because of a very large bribe paid to the MPs.

To be fair, it doesn't say that it's going to store all the content. It's probably just the details of what you're doing instead of a complete copy and paste.
