Communications firms are being asked to record all internet contacts between people as part of a modernisation in UK police surveillance tactics.
Just a short note to see if anyone else saw this yester on the dreaded BBC website. Surely now the rest of the "unwakened" public will rise up alongside us?

Maybe they never wanted to monitor terrorism at all?

You are assuming that the government is competent

The government can't even get my passport to my front door without screwing it up.
First of all they send me forms to my address, which i have to fill my address into.
Then they send me a passport but they send it to the wrong address
They can't get any large scale database to work ever. I think we are pretty safe due to their incompetence.
not worried
this will be an arms race - a few workarounds are...

Some to look into:
PGP, for encrypting emails:
Truecrypt, for encrypting your hard disk:
Tor, for anonymous web browsing and hosting anonymous websites:
Freenet, for anonymous discussion forums and hosting anonymous and censorship-free websites:
Big Brother can be beaten.

Problem solved. Simples

Simples! Just terminate your ISP subscription. Less money then goes into the economy, eh? They can monitor my internet use all they like, until I maybe ditch the internet! Which I'm seriously thinking of doing anyway! I merely keep mine going to ward off boredom. That said, some of the political sewerage I read on internet is more than enough to make a flea shed oceans of depressing tears!
