So what exactly happens if you're found to be talking about something you shouldn't? Do you have the police knocking on your door soon after? Personally I think it'll cause more harm than good...
A lot of perfectly innocent people with no intentions of causing harm, could end up in some form of trouble for having a PRIVATE conversation of a specific nature. Purely because the person listening in doesn't understand socially how those two people are communicating with eachother...resulting in them taking the words seriously.
Also, I think we need a News channel that reports all things like this and those similar. I'm not aware if this has been on the News or not, but plenty of negative changes and topics in todays world are ignored by mainstream News, and left for the odd documentary on channel 4 if we're lucky and random websites on the internet.
If more people were made aware, perhaps more would disagree.
Question is, where will it all end? as police struggle more and more to capture criminals, and crime rates rise, are they just going to invent and rely on more and more technology to do their jobs for them? It's going to end up with microchips and CCTV in our homes at this rate. Or curfew's on the entire country to be indoors by a certain time =/ it's just getting steadily more ridiculous.

What you say about news channels is very true. Perhaps the scariest thing of all. As you say people need to be properly informed instead of brainwashed according to party lines. News channels cave in to censirship themselves. I have heard a news reporter say we have free speech "BUT". The addition of a "BUT" means we do not have free speach.
New laws regarding religious hatred so called. As people will not generally understand what the law is they will play safe and bullied out of fear by the law into not saying what they feel...
Modern Governments are a disgrace. Modern polititions are a disgrace. Modern news reporting is a disgrace....Peoples apathy is a disgrace.....
