UK government will spy on every call and e-mail

this is a break of our own privacy! if the government can see our emails and see what we say to our friends and family.

how dare they think they have the rights to watch us on the internet.

this isnt big brother.

I thought they already did spy on calls and emails, isn't this just trying to make it legal so they can use it in court?

.

Sounds like something J. Edgar Hoover would have done.

Absolutely disgusting.

So why don't some of you give them what they want; Terrorism.

Not blowing yourself up on the bus, but attacking their infrastructure.

6 burly blokes kicking the shit out of those boxes beside traffic lights in just a few select locations would cause absolute chaos and millions of pounds.
wouldn't it be great?

By the by I assume they are already tracking me ...

You vill show us your papers, zee furor and new vorld
order demand this. Zigheil.

You all are like a bag of babies. The reality is that this only protects you from threats. The other reality is that they don't care who you screw or which aunt do you think is an idiot...

The communication is simply filtered, which means it's only monitored if it hits a certain keyword, tone of voice and chain of words. THEY DO NOT CARE!

Be disgusted because they know what you download and what you read.

This world is officially FLAT. Soon are the days of massive (metaphysical) orgies of gossips and truths; no more are the days of absolute privacy. Damn.

While I am not from the UK, rather the US, I suppose that I don't mind governments doing these kinds of things because I have nothing to hide.

My life (therefore my conversations & emails) is quite boring, so I must applaud them for having the willpower to stay focused & listening in. If their listening to me talking about synchronized figure skating for an hour will also allow them to solve terror plots, then so be it!

ain't this a bunch of rubish!

...and I thought we had it bad in the States.

Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

Benjamin Franklin.

This invades my personal privacy, not that i don't have anything bad....but luckliy, i'm not in the UK.

safety for freedom, i don't really know if this is worth it....

fight for your rights

"Those who give up a little freedom for a little security deserve neither and will lose both." -Benjamin Franklin

think about it, this is 2008 not 1984!

There's no way on Earth this kind of information would not be employed in the worst possible way to silence critics and control dissent.

J Edgar Hoover could only dream of having this ability at his disposal! He was said to have been able to manipulate anyone he didn't like by digging the dirt on them by bugging and wiretaps.

If this ability is railroaded into law using the BS excuses of 'crime and terrorism' there will be no stopping anyone in Authority with a grudge or an agenda digging up dirt on someone to force compliance.

Want to protest about a fortnightly rubbish collection? Prepare to have your life scrutinised by some scrot in the Council.

Think the complaint you made because a policeman shouldn't have thrown you to the ground and kicked you in the head? Your entire life will be scrutinised to make the complaint go away.

Have any of you people every worked for the government?

They're not the most competent of organizations. You're giving them entirely too much credit.

This is just an example of fear-oriented journalism.

As the governments of the world continue to mimic the very "terrorist" they are supposedly against.

Wait, I don't think even the terrorist do this.

So the rest of the world is beginning to catch up to the American "Police State Mentality".

So cross London off of places to move to if McCain/Pailn win

I think we're all screwed.

ok that is just madness. invasion of privacy to the max. eff em

wait
that sounds like us....
