UK Plans to Create Database Containing Details About Every Telephone Call, Email and Internet Session
May 20th, 2008Via: Times Online:
A massive government database holding details of every phone call, e-mail and time spent on the internet by the public is being planned as part of the fight against crime and terrorism. Internet service providers (ISPs) and telecoms companies would hand over the records to the Home Office under plans put forward by officials.
The information would be held for at least 12 months and the police and security services would be able to access it if given permission from the courts.
The proposal will raise further alarm about a “Big Brother” society, as it follows plans for vast databases for the ID cards scheme and NHS patients. There will also be concern about the ability of the Government to manage a system holding billions of records. About 57 billion text messages were sent in Britain last year, while an estimated 3 billion e-mails are sent every day.
That’s the 3rd such posting in the last few days – I feel like someone is trying to send us a message.
The coming lockdown’s infrastructure continues apace. It can’t be far off now, though. The hardcore police state, I mean.
In the meantime everyone should lay a superabundance of false trails so that the predictive software (you know, the kit that tells THEM what your next move is likely to be) is, to use one of their own terms, degraded.
Many of us are doing that. I’ve sent out so many thousands of gigabytes of 128 bit encrypted garbage that I can’t keep track of it all. My purpose is to get NSA to keep its banks of computers occupied. If they are ever (probably take thousands of year with 128 bit encryption) able to decipher the files, they will be disappointed to find that are all innocent and totally legal image and text files.
