Govt wants ISPs to record browsing history

Hi guys

I was just reading the threads - trying to catch up on this topic and what sprung to mind, is -i wonder how long will it be before some nut suggests that we are injected with some tracking device -
The way things are going it's only a matter of time. "God help us"

Regards

This was a couple of years ago, kind of makes it a little scarier though:

I cannot believe this. No I can't. How the hell has this happening in this country. Soon there will be no point in the internet as there will probably not be one anymore.

The end of ze world is nigh.

you didn't know it happens here in the UK? How did you think they catch people downloading child pron and such? you don't think they just burst into some random persons house on the off chance do you?

NO. And, FYI, I thought they tracked the criminals activities when the criminals are known of.

What i did not know was the fact they are doing it to the whole BLOODY COUNTRY! Ok!

How do know this is NOT being done already? Do you think "they" would come out and tell us about this?

Consider that Google already admits to storing your IP address and search information history. They already have the history of all the searches you've done. What story do you think THAT will tell?

Also, have you folks never heard of FISC? Look it up. They have legal authority to issue warrants to demand that ISPs furnish them whatever material they want -- and their proceedings are not publicized. So, you have no "right" to being informed about any actions being taken against you.

So, if they want (1) your complete web surfing history, (2) your complete Googling history, or (3) all your emails -- it's NOT going to take an "Act of Congress" to get that; it's only going to take a warrant from FISC.

woah.... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. My post was not meant to be taken condesendingly, I was merely stating it the way I see it. Sorry if I caused offence.
