announced on radio news....all emails will be held on a govt. database for 1 year,this is for the uk not sure about the rest o the world sad day for freedom

as far as i know its just the UK. we got a notice about it company wide cause theres an office in london, but they were very clear that it didnt affect us in the US or the frankfurt office.

but yah, thats fucked up. I am constantly shocked at how many of our civil liberties we give up without a good enough fight.
subway riders in Chicago willingly consent to random searches.
most people i know havent checked their privacy settings in their facebook acounts, let alone their routers and modems.
not that it really matters. its been pretty much proven that the NSA is deep packet inspecting huge amounts of web traffic with the help of the telecom companies ($$), as outlined in the patriot act.

deny it all you want, but big brother IS watching.

well all there gonna get from my mail is pictures! random porn pics, got a great bit of software that hides/encrypt the email within the pic!

...all the mail i dont want read anyways!

Anyone got a link to this, can't see it anywhere.

Never really got into the whole email thing. I only use email for signing up to forums/websites and such.

What? i know that they where thinking about this, but i also know that it went to the EU court and it was rejected, i also know that it was due to go to the supreme court in may of this year. I hate our goverment as they make decisions without even asking us what we want. We need a peoples goverment, but that is a pipe dream and will never happen. you do know that they already have the power to tab peeps phones with no warning and if the police want a word witth you, they can track you down with your mobile phone. They can also intercept you mail and now they want to intercept our email as well. What happened to a free country? if we spy we get done, but if they spy it is perfectly acceptable.

But anyway we will have to wait for the supreme courts decision before this one can pass, as the UN and The Geneva Convention has rejected this one already.

anyway if i want to send somthing that they i dont want them to see, i will use my custom protocol to send it (assuming the target has the same)

One word:

"Echelon"

The US Gov't, UK gov't, Canadian gov't, and other governments already can, and do, read your emails.

Moral of the story: Be careful*

Enough said!

* On the other hand, my buddy and I like to fuck with any potential eavestroughers, by peppering our emails with words like "Al-Q*eda", J*had, and so on.

there are key phrases and words that trigger official interest......Orwell's "ministry of love" is just the nanny state by another name....its all very very wrong and worrying...so lets say "f**k it all" ,spark up a phatty and don't stress better not say amsterdam is my form of mecca then and i'm training as a suicide bonger ....i really don't give a shit about any govt. they're all corrupt to some level
