[quote]The Home Office says it will push ahead with plans to ask communications firms to monitor all internet use.
Ministers confirmed their intention despite concerns and opposition from some in the industry.
The proposals include asking firms to retain information on how people use social networks such as Facebook.
Some 40% of respondents to the Home Office's consultation opposed the plans - but ministers say communication interception needs to be updated.
Both the police and secret security services have legal powers in the UK to intercept communications in the interests of combating crime or threats to national security.
But the rules largely focus on communications over telephones and do not cover the whole range of internet communications now being used.
The Home Office says it wants to change the law to compel communication service providers (CSPs) to collect and retain records of communications from a wider range of internet sources, from social networks through to chatrooms and unorthodox methods, such as within online games. [/quote]

This will effect you when the UN gets involved and tries pushing it onto all members.

[QUOTE=angelangel;18294071]So long as you don't discuss things that would be a threat to national security, I don't see how this will affect anybody.
Also, you deserve to be arrested if you admit to committing crime on Facebook. :geno:[/QUOTE]

Proud to be Canadian.
Though, as a commonwealth country we might have something similar soon.
UK is probably the worst western country to live in IMO

Fuck the commonwealth. It's nothing more than a name. We feel the poor Queen would be heartbroken if we flipped her the bird, so we play along to keep her happy.

no such thing I'm afraid.

Our low population density and lack of any form of aggressive government should keep it at bay for a while

At least they're telling you that they'll be recording your activity on the net.
:c unlike my government[/QUOTE]
So if your government put a camera in your toilet because you have nothing to hide, it's fine.. Right?
Hah this won't stop anyone. People will find ways. It won't stop me that's for sure.
[QUOTE=Pepsi-cola;18293424]We ought to start protesting on the streets.[/QUOTE]
We can't its illegal (unless we give the government at least two weeks notice and protest in areas deemed suitable by them).

Sure why not.
