Big Brother getting nasty

[NFG]

Good post NFG. You know what you are talking about...

 

Thank you, to demonstrate a point, I reply from a UK IP address 81.168.***.*** - Eclipse Internet - but Im really in France tho.

 

Its the politicians whose communications need monitoring, in my opinion. I daresay there will be public disconcert, followed by a large amount of money being spent to find out it will deliver very little real benefit & be shelved.

 

No dounbt the consultancy firm involved, let me guess will be Capita otherwise known as 'Crapita' and sluice yet another large pile of tax payers money into its account with its consultants dined at The Ivy until theyre fat & bored with the menu.

As said, serious criminals are going to use very encrypted internet for communication (i.e. the dark web, tor network etc). for those of you who haven't heard of it... Tor (anonymity network) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

To plot a massive terrorist attack on the olympics, do they really think they will just log onto hotmail on their mums computer? Seriously...

The French guy who was gunning people down made all sorts stupid mistakes, emailed one of his victims, etc.

 

These nut jobs are not the sharpest tools in the box, so they are often easily caught.

Fair enough you do get some idiots like that, but i'm talking big organised crime, terrorism etc which this act is supposed to be aimed at.

But, the leave as is option already works, those who need monitoring are being monitored, criminals & the like being quite easily caught.

 

All you achieve by publicly making a fuss about this is drive the criminals, paedos and terrorists to use ultra secure, anon services such as Tor via VPN & Im sure a host of other similar services will pop up faster than they can be blocked.

They are only able to see who is communicating with who, if they want to read the content of your emails they will still need a court order.

 

I really do see what all the fuss is about??, but then I guess I have nothing to hide.

 

Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
