Insane plan to monitor all internet use

27 April 2009 by Simon Mone

I have just read an article on the BBC News site about the government's plans to get service providers to record activity on the internet to 'modernise police surveillance tactics'. They want to gather data on emails, phone calls and internet use including visits to social networking sites. "Communications data is an essential tool for law enforcement agencies to track murderers, paedophiles, save lives and tackle crime," Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said. The BBC went on to say 'Ministers say they estimate the project will cost £2bn to set up, which includes some compensation to the communications industry for the work it may be asked to do.'

I just find this too ridiculous to believe. Imagine what the police and social services could do of real value with £2bn.
