couldnt happen here ?As of yesterday the uk govt has announced that it will allow legislation to require all CPS to retain and make available contact data. Litterally evryone you talk to over the net, VOIP, every chatroom you vist, your social networks evry email and even every ingame conversation. They are making a big BIG thing about A) not puting it in a central databse and B) making it only who and when data not actually looking at what was said. The requirement I believe is for records to be retained for between 2 and 7 years ~ as yet to be decided. Nothing to say of course that it must not be retained.What scary is that under existing legislation there are some 60 Govt and ngo organisation types that can ask for this data - including your local town council. ( Plenty of articals on town councils spying on people using anti terrorisim legislation over issues from school aplications to allowing their dog to repeatedly foul on the pavement - in one case a family, BY CHANCE, found out a council employee was making detailed observations for three weeks in an effort to find out if they livend in the house they said they lived in. Hundereds of thousands of requests from councils have been made for personal data - less than 1% related to terrorist concerns. )Just a tip from the home of the magna carter.For the sake of your kids please dont assume 'it will be "OK"'.
