I am a bit behind with the news. only found out about this now and here is my 10 cents and my 2 cents is free.


Will UK spy bill risk exposing people's porn habits? (internet history to be stored for 1 year) 05.11.15



i am in trouble

my destiny does hang

i might have to destroy my bubble

go along to suicide bridge and pc bang.

every poem is recorded

its not a thought or theory

the shame and embarrassment is sordid

its all on the hard drive memory.

from news reviews

to television shows

the highs and the blues

plus my love for emmerdale that only grows.

what about my proposals

for love i am a sucker

first come served and no refusals

i am a diver and duck er.

what about my aftershave appreciation

for hours i search for a smell

you no i have "john lewis" contamination

they think my online reviews are swell.

games pass a few hours

they really mess my head and scramble

online is a weakness of my powers

i loose thousands when i gamble.

not sure how its going to fizzle

will the fuzz search every internet file

my poems are online waiting for this sizzle

but for reading everyone is making me smile.

Here's some thoughts from Bruce Schneier, a highly respected American cryptographer and security expert who is baffled as to why Cameron is attempting to make Britain into a police state http://uk.businessinsider.com/bruce-...nternet-2015-7

Will David Cameron and his cronies destroy the internet and have businesses rushing away from the British shores faster than a toupee in a hurricane?

Is what Camerons suggesting even possible? according to this article, its not.

I didnt realise they weren't allowed to do so before...

it isn't tbqh because they'll abuse their powers and invade our privacy

Are we pandering to someone?

"Then I wondered why he would even wish for such a thing? Does he realize that this is the sort of thing that only authoritarian governments do? Again, my knowledge of the UK is limited, but I assume they are a free country that champions liberty."

Sadly, it seems that these days, he assumes incorrectly.

Of course it's not, it's not even vaguely feasible, but that's not the point. I doubt theres any real intention of ever making it happen. What he wants, is for people to be fearful and paranoid at the mere mention of it. People hear these rumours and then don't really pay attention to whether or not they've actually come to pass... except that in 3 years time you'll have a tonne of "average" users saying "I remember reading you can't encrypt anything any more and they can see everything that you do online..."

Kizzy 08-11-2015 09:31 PM

So your bank details will be visible to any average 15yr old and the govt?

Tom4784 08-11-2015 09:34 PM

It's just an excuse to invade the privacy of anyone they please. So sick of our rights being violated and justified by them saying it's because of terrorists like it's a buzzword they're holding on to for dear life.

It is mass surveillance like we have never seen before. The government will know so much about us and what we do in our lives and who we talk too, what websites we visit and more. They will have data on everyone one of us like they have never had before.

Even after the actual records of the communications have disappeared, after a year, the profile of what we have been doing can be kept by the government and the security services and this can be added to year on year. By the time you die there will be a file of you on a government computer with more much information than anything they record about us now.

In the wrong hands this information controlled by some rouge right wing or left wing government could be used to control and persecute people, just like the KGB didn't in the USSR and like what happens in North Korea today. Could you imagine what Hitler would have done with such information?

Soon people will be saying that they can't talk on the phone, send a text or instant message in case someone is listening. It won't solve the problem of terrorist and other unsavoury types in society it just drive the communication to places where it is safe from the eyes of May and her snoopers.

They probably will

There are plans for all adult related to be part of a scheme which has a central database that contains your details and that are over the age of 18. To access a adult site your access will have to be verified by the central server.

The implementation of the Communications Data Bill will mean that the access to that server will be recorded and records of your viewing habits will be available to government agencies.

They'll care about your hardcore German stuff though

JoshBB 19-04-2016 11:47 PM

This is a step beyond the line of surveillance that is acceptable in my view. To investigate the internet histories & communications of suspected terrorists is justified, spying on citizens without reason is of disturbing resemblance to an Orwellian distopia and it is totally not okay.

(ok look how poetic that was. anyway yeah surveillance to this extent is bad plz stop it davey cameron)

Could be if it contains bottom sex - "UK Government concerned too many people could be trying anal sex" - Independent

It is one of the reasons that they want a central database of those who want to access porn.

You will never know who is looking at those records and what they hold because of loop holes in the Data Protection Act that allows the government to keep personal details on you without having register the data on the grounds of national security or any other public function exercised in the public interest.

The police haven't got the resources to respond to your burglary never mind regularly monitor Joe Bloggs internet history

It is but as it's not China, Russia, or the Middle East it's okay apparently.
