UK e-mail law 'attack on rights
ISP in the UK will soon have to store all email sent and received in the UK. This ridiculous law is another attempt by Governments to control the Internet and another will not work scenario. Who is advising these people. Apart from privacy and civil liberty issues the UK Government say it is vital for crime and terror inquiries. (BBC News, 2009)
Next there will be a tax on sex.
What a complete waist of money for the UK tax payer as criminals and terror activist only need to go through a anonymous proxy server to a free online mail server and send back and forth as much email as they like without any knowledge to the UK ISP or the UK Government.
As for the local punters in the UK you will now have big brother watching you even closer. Every one should be very concerned about what is happening all over the world with the Internet as Big Brother attempt to control us in every thing we do.
So what are the issues?
- How secure will this database be?
As all experienced IT people know there is no such thing as total security. every time we fix a hole someone some where finds a new one
- What will this achieve?
At £25m you will not get a dime worth from it.
No criminal or terrorist will use a UK email system
More cost to the Internet users
Well governments need to understand that the Internet is a free open space and attempts to control it through stupid radical ideas like this one will be doom for failure.
The trap the world is getting them into is all this data collection. What will it all be used for in the future and how will it used to bring power to those who have it. The governments of the world should be making tighter controls on data collection than trying to implement ridiculous new data collection methods.
