As if all the censorship and monitoring we have in the world is not enough we now have United Kingdom’s plan to monitor internet communication between users in the country.¬† UK’s Home secretary has called for implementation of a plan to monitor and record internet contact between users there.

The new system would track emails, calls and internet use yet the Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith says there will be no government database to store these logs. we wonder what they’ll be using

Under the plan communication providers would be compelled to track and record internet contact between users, while the Home Secretary says that they’ll be no recording of content only recording of who speaks to who, we are concerned with the potential abuse of a service like this.¬† What will stop the government from recording content after all just knowing that two people spoke is pretty much useless while recording what they said¬† is more important.

Already the plan has run into criticism from the opposition with various individuals focusing on the inportance of privacy, which to us here at CPB is an inalienable right.

We have only one word for the UK Home Secretary, “STOP”
