Really, terror is just a way to justify creating a police state. Let's see how the world ends when the US goes bankrupt. A new world order or global fascism.
Britain is getting ever closer to a police state

Well we all know we're watched 24/7 in public areas, and it does have major benefits, it's when the spying comes into your own home that you must worry.
We all need a bit of privacy.

Uhmm What... If you put something on the internet you expect it to be seen by all. Why the hell do you have a Facebook/MySpace/Twitter/(Or whatever new social network is in the trend spotlight at the moment) if you don't want the information to be seen by anyone?
If it's something so important and damn secret then mail the people you need to talk to a f letter, (Hell,anyone remember "Getting of your fat a$s and actually socializing in person?) or send him a text message or whatever you deem to be "safe" from the evil government that wants to destroy you and ruin your worthless social life. Don't all go crying about how horrible it is if some guy working for the government sees what ever unimportant thing you so desperately need to tell someone.

"I find it invasive enough that my computer stores my internet browsing history"
You know that you can delete that right? And it's not like it's invading your privacy if you are the one that accepted the ULA when you installed your IE/FF (Or whatever internet browser)
As normally, people remain ignorant and overreact, thinking that they are the center of the universe and that it will change anything, if some guy sees what you wrote to Jane on Twitter.

It's not that that is concerning. Our government wants to trawl through our private emails, which are not published onto the web and thus are not viewable by all. They already have the ability to store all sender/recipient details for 6 months and they want to do it for more. It's really getting out of hand.
Isn't that conclusion jumping? Because China is censorship, not monitoring.dogstile said:
Anyway, what's wrong with this? I don't get it, the only excuse I get is it steals our privacy. OK, but how does that effect me? I'm not doing anything interesting, seriously, all I do is go on the internet, play games, homework ect. Watch me, fine, I'm not doing anything massively interesting.
Its all bullsh!t. The Govt are only using terrorism as an excuse, and its not a very good one. We are already the most monitored nation in the West and its going to get worse.Chris B Chikin said:
Anyone else see the dirty bomb story in the news? Funny that - a load of rubbish about how Britain is under increased threat of being attacked by terrorists with a really nasty weapon on the same day the Govt announces that they want legal power to incriminate us using social networking.
Only problem with that story is if you know anything about radioactive material and bombs (which you would assume a dirty bomb maker would) then you would know that the USA tested dirty bombs and concluded that they were totally ineffective; the chances of the radioactive material that is scattered causing any negative consequences are totally insignificant.
The only threat a dirty bomb possesses is to whip up panic, which is a consequence of the media's irresponsible coverage of a non-threat.
You know what would be better than pouring millions into a super computer that would accomplish the impossible task of completely monitering the internet?
When people ask if you said you made one say "we can neither conform nor deny this." Then people THINK you have one and behave accordingly and you spent bupkis.

Aye, Ain't it grand?
There's criticism being levelled at New Labour over their keeping DNA records of innocent people, even though it's been ruled illegal. The spokeperson's response on the news is basically "we're going to look at the judge's decision" before quoting a random conviction where the DNA database was used.
Translation: "F*** You, we're keeping them."
Security is the excuse. Retaining power while squeezing every last penny from the public is the reason.
It's the same pretty much everywhere, n'est pas?

"In the wrong" has a lot of different meanings. Remember J Edgar Hoover? Remember how the government was more interested on spying Martin Luther King Jr than potential Communists? The American government recently spent millions of dollars spying on Quakers and other peaceful anti-war protesters. Gotta keep an eye on "pacifists handing out pamphlets." With this much monitoring makes social progress much harder which is why governments like monitoring.dunnace said:
