Of course, once they start selling your data, then you'll have something to hide.

Life insurance premium? Well Mr Jones, we can see that you boasted about pissing it up and smoking some fine cuban cigars last weekend on a forum called "BCF" so that'll add on 10%.

Car insurance? With the way you talk about driving.....£2000 TPFT mate.

Ahh yes, we've read your CV, you've interviewed wonderfully....we're just concerned about a picture you posted, titled "nobcat 4 lyfe!".... it's a picture of a cat and....well.....I;m sorry the position has been filled.

Most people having nothing to hide. Until they do.

It has to be said, this is precisely the kind of thing that the Stasi would've wanked themselves bloody over.

So some of you would perfectly be fine with them accessing your personal data regardless of any suspicious activity. Not that they already do not collect all this meta data.

Has nobody seen citizen four ?

So Teresa May suggests ISPs should retain and srote a years worth of browsing data, and 'internet companies' should be decrypting and storing all users communications. (never mind the obvious flaws in this such as how they'll be planning to force multinationals like Apple, Microsoft, Telegram et. al to comply...)

Meanwhile, Talktalk customers banking details are being flogged online by hackers for less than £1 a pop following their latest security breach.

Riiiiiiiight.

Colours to the mast, I think this is a seriously bad thing and, more than likely, yet another step on a slippery slope!

I assume, given the publicity surrounding these issues, over the last couple of years, any "terroist" worth his salt will be exchanging post-it notes in the local place of worship and won't be using the information super highway!

However, I find it hilarious that the, overwhelming, majority of people, posting in this thread are quite happily giving away personal data, via social meeja, the ultimate irony being that the very same people are, no doubt, carrying smartphones around, giving away all their movements and call logs!

If your really worried about privacy issues, why the fcuk have you got a smartphone in your pocket or, in fact, any other device with a sim card in it?

I feel kinda bad for ol' Snowy.

The people that cared about such things already knew it was happening, and everyone else just didn't give a fuck and carried on as normal.

Ever since I was a kid* I just assumed that emails were read and phones could be tapped, maybe not matter of course but certainly "they" could do it if "they" wanted to.

What did he actually accomplish? It certainly wasn't news to me....




*I don't think I was a normal child. Aged 11-12 I'd rattle on about how the Anarchists Cookbook was more dangerous to the user than anyone else and spent my time reading survivalist sites on the internet as well as printing off "chemistry" guides.

I'm in two minds about this.

On the one hand, if there are credible terrorist plots that could be foiled using these powers, then the powers should be put in place and used for that reason.

On the other hand, if this creates a data warehouse which is worth attacking by organised crime, that will happen and they will be successful. Likewise if the data is used by police forces against low level every day crime like drug dealing, that is a problem.

Of course, if there a terrorist plot foiled we'll never know about it, but if Geoff in Basingstoke sold some of his ADHD meds to a mate and got arrested, it'll be all over the papers.

The whole thing just reminds me of the big NHS database idea which had everyone going mental over privacy, big data, hacking and "the man". As a result, if I have a car crash in Leeds the hospital doesn't have easy access to medical records, because they're in London.

I think in this case I would rather the intelligence agencies just did it, but did so under the table. The capability would then only be used by intelligence agencies, because its a secret. Using the capability risks making it public that the capability exists, so it is only used when necessary, not when a copper is bored and wants to read his ex-wifes email.

The government's budget won't cover costs either so broadband bills go up and we get to pay for the privilege of being snooped on

The happenings in Paris should ensure a sway in public opinion on this matter.
