Knowledge Is Power...

[patentdragon]

Oh, for fnaj's sake, the Government, in league with (apparently) the other two major parties (no, sorry, make that the Government and the ONE remaining non-Government party), are rushing through a law that's the much dreaded "Snooper's Charter", giving them the power to require ISPs to retain your web history, emails and so on "just in case you might be a terrorist".

Bullshit. Premium grade top-of-the-range BULLSHIT.

The terrorists are on the "dark net", laughing their asses off at us right now. Put simply, they won by default - they managed to bring our society down, and won't have to fire a shot.

I know who I'm more worried about, and I came VERY close to being caught up in a terrorist atrocity (at Harrod's) some years back. I sure as hell DON'T trust our powers that be with ANY of my information, not when they've acted just like North Korea or old-fashioned totalitarian Romania to get their way...

It'll be interesting to see what "hacktivists" "Anonymous" do about this. Now's the time for them to stand up and fight for what they SEEM to believe in. Or do they only do that if it gets them on TV bitching about the American government...?
