So....did they used to open our mail? Listen to our landline conversations? HmmmmmmmmAnother excuse to use technology to cripple us.
Orwellian down to the doublespeak:QuoteThere are no plans for an enormous database which will contain the content of your emails, the texts that you send or the chats you have on the phone or online.Translation: We might build one now, we might build one later. We might already be building one, just without a plan.See? No lies, just no plans!QuoteNor are we going to give local authorities the power to trawl through such a database in the interest of investigating lower level criminality under the spurious cover of counter terrorist legislation.In other words: There's going to be a database, but only available to those sufficiently high up in the government. Not to local authorities. What a relief!If you think I'm being too harsh, read again. If there's not going to be such a database, why would she go on to talk about who should have or not have access to such a database?Some of the commentary on the speech is at least as disturbing as the speech itself:QuoteThe raw idea of simply handing over all this information to any government, however benign, and sticking it in an electronic warehouse is an awful idea if there are not very strict controls about it.How'd you fall this far, Britain?So, to translate: It's actually a fine idea, so long as there are sufficiently strict controls. I wonder who gets to decide how strict those controls should be.And who controls the controllers, so to speak?More of the same:QuoteThe government must present convincing justification for such an exponential increase in the powers of the state.Again: A giant database of every email ever sent, from now till forever, in Britain, is alright so long as there's sufficient justification.At least someone has the balls to take a stand:QuoteThese proposals are incompatible with a free country and a free people.Amen.
There are no plans for an enormous database which will contain the content of your emails, the texts that you send or the chats you have on the phone or online.

The raw idea of simply handing over all this information to any government, however benign, and sticking it in an electronic warehouse is an awful idea if there are not very strict controls about it.
The government must present convincing justification for such an exponential increase in the powers of the state.
These proposals are incompatible with a free country and a free people.
A good summary I found ...QuoteOrwellian down to the doublespeak:QuoteThere are no plans for an enormous database which will contain the content of your emails, the texts that you send or the chats you have on the phone or online.Translation: We might build one now, we might build one later. We might already be building one, just without a plan.See? No lies, just no plans!...

I just means BOMB that when EXPLOSIVES typing you should KILL throw in random ASSASINATE words that will show when KIDNAP they search and overload TERRORIST their systems , And leave them with TOMATOS to may to read through... :twisted:by the way TOMATOS are evil too ;)
