They can't even safely move laptops with citizens details, let alone run a massive database with all this information. I can see the headlines now... | |

imo the government is all ready doing this but possibly have been caught out and are now trying to make it legal so they dont have to hide the fact that this country is the most corrupt in the world and thats a fact that the uk is more corrupt than the usa | |

That is basically an invasion of peoples privacy. And probably a way of other people abusing it and getting hold of peoples private details (Eg bank details etc) | |

It's against the EU constitution. Yet another example of this government doing such. It makes what everyone died for in WWII completely pointless as this, without sounding too much like Ojc, is how facist dictatorships got all thier power; By gradually exploiting people's civil libertys. | |

Wont happen, a lot of ISPs already refuse to hand over details unless the police get the courts involved - so cant see them handing these details over volentarily and no chance in hell that it would be passed by the courts. | |

We're not sure if these plans will ever make it to reality, but the Telegraph is reporting that Britain's Home Office is working on database designed to store the details of every phone call, email, and web page accessed by British citizens in the previous year. The idea is to have various telecom providers hand over their records, which will all go into the database and then be accessible by police upon receipt of a court order. Of course, there's no reason why police couldn't simply ask the ISPs for the appropriate data when they get that court order, since records are already required to be kept for a year, but sometimes it's important for a government to build a massive scary database of personal information with endless potential for abuse by embittered low-level bureaucrats, you know? The plan is still in draft stages, so hopefully it dies on the table -- and if not, well, the NSA welcomes you with open arms, British expats. |
